In the first months of 2026, global IT giants have already laid off over 100,000 employees, aggressively optimizing costs for multi-billion dollar investments in neural networks.\n<\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"info__descrip\">\u041f\u0430\u0432\u044f\u043b\u0456\u0447\u044b\u0446\u044c<\/span>                    <\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted nn-image-description\" data-number=\"2\" id=\"p3\">Photo: LookByMedia<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"3\" id=\"p4\">The Techspot portal writes about the alarming trend in the technology sector, which was noted by the Telegram channel &#8220;Bel-Geek.com&#8221;. According to data from the analytical portal TrueUp, which tracks layoffs in the industry, the number of redundancies since the beginning of the year has exceeded 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"4\" id=\"p5\">Statistics show that the process is becoming systemic: in every month, with the exception of April, more than 20,000 specialists lost their jobs.<\/p>\n<h2>From Meta to PayPal: Who Pays for the Revolution<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"5\" id=\"p6\">The largest wave of cutbacks in the last month was led by Meta, which has embarked on a course to transform into an &#8220;AI-first company&#8221;. The corporation plans to lay off about 8,000 employees to partially offset the rising costs of artificial intelligence, which will exceed $100 billion this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"6\" id=\"p7\">At the same time, another approximately 7,000 jobs may be reoriented to roles directly related to AI. The irony of the situation is that the company intends to train its systems by tracking the activity of its own employees in the workplace, which many of them have already called &#8220;incredibly demoralizing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"7\" id=\"p8\">Cisco follows, having recently announced the layoff of 4,000 people. Company head Chuck Robbins tried to present this figure as optimistically low, explaining that investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure will allow them to stay abreast of the global technological rearmament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-star-inserted\" data-number=\"8\" id=\"p9\">PayPal&#8217;s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nashaniva.com\/en\/395979\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IT giants are massively laying off employees to pay for artificial intelligence https:\/\/nashaniva.com\/en\/395979 Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":254266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/nashaniva.com\/photos\/generated\/fb395979.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-254265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=254265"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254265\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":254267,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/254265\/revisions\/254267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/254266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=254265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=254265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=254265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
