Companies Laying Off Employees Because of AI
Deepwatch is certainly not the first company in recent memory to lay off employees because they want to free up capital for AI investment. In fact, there have been a lot of companies that have full-on replaced workers with AI in 2025, openly admitting to it when they do so.
Many of them are making far more substantial layoffs than Deepwatch, too. Just a few weeks ago, Amazon announced it would be letting go of 14,000 employees. A few months ago, Microsoft removed 6,000 employees from the company. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff even bragged about reducing the company’s workforce from 9,000 to 5,000 thanks to AI.
Simply put, AI is putting jobs at risk, whether it be through avid investment or full-on role replacement. And if you want to stay safe, you’re going to need to embrace the technology sooner rather than later.
