Challenger, Gray & Christmas said AI was the leading stated reason for July job cuts for a fifth straight month, even as employers also announced more hiring plans.

Reuters reported that Thomson Reuters said it was cutting a small number of engineering roles while planning to hire more than 250 net-new engineering roles over two years.

Adecco Group says AI is changing tasks faster than it is eliminating jobs, while only a minority of firms have scaled it into core workflows. Reuters reported the company also pointed to disappearing entry-level jobs and a need for reskilling.

Amazon said it is eliminating some roles inside parts of its artificial general intelligence organization while saying it remains committed to large AI models. The company did not disclose how many employees are affected.
