🔥 Companies Laying Off Workers Due to AI in 2025

As artificial intelligence reshapes workflows and business models, several major companies have eliminated thousands of jobs this year, citing AI efficiency, automation, and restructuring.

Microsoft – 15,000 jobs
In two major waves—6,000 in May and 9,000 in July—Microsoft laid off roughly 15,000 employees in 2025. Cuts affected engineering, sales, Xbox, and administrative roles. The move is part of their push to redirect billions toward AI infrastructure, tools like Copilot, and Azure-based AI services.

Salesforce – 1,000 jobs
CEO Marc Benioff revealed that AI now handles 30–50% of Salesforce’s workload. As a result, the company laid off 1,000 employees earlier this year, streamlining operations in favor of AI-driven productivity.

TomTom – 300 jobs
TomTom cut 300 roles in June 2025, transitioning away from human-led mapping and support functions to more automated, AI-centric systems. Who knew it still exists....

CrowdStrike – 500 jobs
The cybersecurity giant trimmed 5% of its workforce, noting that AI tools now handle threat detection, reporting, and triage more efficiently than manual teams.

Amazon – Restructuring underway
While Amazon hasn’t published firm numbers yet, CEO Andy Jassy confirmed that AI will reduce headcount over time, particularly in voice assistant and customer service divisions. Several teams like Alexa have already seen deep restructuring.

Wall Street Firms – 10–30% cuts expected

Firms like JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley are embracing large language models to draft IPO documents, analyze deals, and manage compliance, potentially eliminating 10–30% of junior roles in the next 12–24 months.

Self-driving cars and delivery robots are expected to disrupt millions of jobs in the coming years, with studies estimating that up to 5 million U.S. driving roles—including truck drivers, taxi drivers, and delivery workers—could be eliminated by 2030. Companies like Nuro have already laid off hundreds as they shift toward autonomous delivery models, while major automakers and tech firms continue to invest heavily in driverless vehicle technology. As these systems scale, the impact on last-mile delivery and long-haul trucking could be massive, making transportation one of the most vulnerable sectors to AI and automation.
