While NASDAQ is at an all-time high, according to some podcasts I follow, these layoffs are mostly due to AI.

How ai is influencing this?

AI is a buzzword that allows the layoffs to happen. I’ve yet to see any serious affect from actual AI beyond broken chat bots.

If they didn’t want to do layoffs, they’d be arguing that AI is allowing them to hire more and get more business.
