AI Fires Outsourced Workers, Keeps Your Job for Now
In a stunning twist of corporate mercy, MIT's Aditya Challapally reveals AI isn't coming for your job—yet. Instead, AI is methodically axing 'low priority or outsourced' workers abroad while companies rejoice, saving millions by dropping business process outsourcing contracts. The State of AI in Business 2025 report shows firms are 'backfilling workers with AI,' not mass layoffs. But beware: 27% of jobs are on the chopping block long-term. Meanwhile, half of AI budgets stylishly prop up sales and marketing, leaving investors with 95% of generative AI spend delivering nada. So yes, embrace your AI survival—your outsourced friend did not.
