AI layoffs to backfire Half quietly rehired at lower pay

1. Will AI-related layoffs be permanent?
No. Forrester predicts that about half of AI-driven layoffs will be reversed as many initiatives fail or fall short of expectations.

2. Are the rehired jobs the same as before?
Not always. Many roles return offshore or at lower salaries, reflecting financial motives rather than pure efficiency.

3. Do employers regret replacing staff with AI?
Yes. Around 55% of employers regret doing so, realizing that AI hasn’t delivered the expected productivity.

4. How is AI affecting HR departments?
HR teams are shrinking while being expected to perform the same duties using unreliable “AI-washed” tools.

5. Are AI projects often cancelled?
Yes. Gartner predicts that by 2027, over 40% of agentic AI projects will be cancelled due to high costs and unclear value.

6. How well do AI agents perform?
A Salesforce study found AI agents perform poorly, often misunderstanding confidentiality and accuracy.

7. Did Salesforce replace workers with AI?
Yes. Salesforce cut 4,000 support roles through AI but redeployed some staff to other areas.

8. What are “AI-washed” tools?
These are products marketed as AI but lacking real technological capability — often considered “vaporware.”

9. Which companies scaled back AI adoption?
Klarna and Duolingo have both re-evaluated their aggressive AI strategies.

10. Why did Amazon lay off workers?
Amazon attributed its 14,000 job cuts to AI’s growing impact on company operations.
