Krishna said that especially back-office functions such as human resources will be suspended or slowed down
international Business Machine Corp expects about 7,800 jobs to be replaced by artificial intelligence (AI) in the coming years, CEO Arvind Krishna told Bloomberg News on Monday.
Back-office functions in particular, such as human resources, will be suspended or slowed, Krishna said, adding that 30% of non-customer-facing roles could be replaced by AI and automation in five years.
His comments come at a time when AI has caught the imagination of people across the globe following the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI’s viral chatbot, ChatGPT, in November last year.
The PC-maker told the publication that the cuts may not include replacing the roles vacated by the crash.
