Interview with Microsoft’s CEO was posted by WSJ within past 24-hours that includes questions about if workers should be concerned about AI taking their jobs. My understanding was he expected companies to retrain their workforce to leverage AI. I would be super curious to hear his reasoning for why Microsoft did not take his own advice.

This assumes AI taking people's jobs has anything to do with these layoffs. The press release mentions AI, but not in that context. I don't think these people are being laid off because MS is getting ChatGPT to write their code instead.

Understand your response, though my understanding is he meant AI would enable employees to be retrained using AI to create more value — not that the employees would be replaced by AI; meaning even a non-tech employee would become a tech employee using AI and as a result would become valuable enough not to fire After being retrained.

Yeah, they want lay off workers because they need money for making big investment in ChatGPT :)
