HP is set to lay off between 4,000 and 6,000 jobs globally by 2028 as it gears up to embed AI into its workflows and processes. The company announced this week that it was hoping to use the technology to streamline operations, improve customer satisfaction, and ultimately boost productivity.
As revealed by CEO Enrique Lores during a media briefing call, teams that focus on product development, internal operations, and customer support will be heavily impacted by the cuts. This is the second round of layoffs that HP has made in 2025, with around 1,000 to 2,000 employees let go in February.
It’s been a turbulent year for the tech sector, with companies everywhere replacing workers with AI in a bid to avoid being cut adrift. However, research shows that businesses should properly think through their adoption strategies before they implement them. Otherwise, they risk accruing costly and damaging “AI debt.”
