TASHKENT, July 14 (Alliance News): More than 94,000 tech workers in the United States have lost their jobs since the start of 2025, as companies rapidly adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and automation tools, according to official data.
The job cuts have mostly hit roles in programming, data analysis, customer service, and even creative fields. Major tech firms are now using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot to handle coding, content creation, and client interactions—tasks that once needed entire teams.
Experts say the shift is aimed at reducing costs, improving efficiency, and staying competitive in a fast-changing digital landscape.
However, workers and trade unions are raising concerns, warning that automation is leading to higher unemployment, especially among low-skilled workers, and may widen social inequality.
Economists expect the trend to continue as AI becomes more advanced. While many traditional jobs may disappear, new roles are opening up for people skilled in working with these technologies.
Global organizations including the United Nations and the World Bank are urging governments and companies to invest in retraining programs to help workers adapt to the changing job market.
