“Lufthansa said it would cut about 4,000 jobs by 2030, mostly in Germany, as the airline continues to roll out artificial intelligence and automation of tasks.
Lufthansa, which employs around 102,000 people world-wide, said the cuts would mainly affect administrative roles, rather than operational positions, and should result in an EBIT uplift of 300 million euros ($351.1 million) per year.
The announcement comes days after Germany’s Robert Bosch said it plans to slash 13,000 jobs over the next five years, as the car-parts supplier leans into artificial intelligence to maximize productivity.”
they spent all that time making the Peterborough call center train their Replacements in the Philippines only to lay off the Philippines workers with AI
ladies and gentlemen – corporations
While this obviously is shit for the people that get cut, using automation to replace tidious and repetitive tasks happens all the time and therefore its just wasted potential for the company.
As long as they dont replace essentail and important positions with AI slop, its should help them long term more. When companies start to think that everyone can be replaced by AI, its basicly doomsday for those companies
Next up: lufthansa AI is going on strike every month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
