In this episode Steve shares results from new research that suggests that AI and automation are not actually driving significant layoffs, and that some CEOs are using AI as a convenient excuse to carry out headcount reductions and cost-cutting that are being driven by other factors. Factors that perhaps place more pressure and blame on the CEOs themselves.
