BT CEO Allison Kirkby has indicated the increasing adoption of artificial intelligence could lead to even deeper cuts beyond current plans to trim the company’s workforce.
Kirkby confirmed plans, which are hoped to save £3 billion by 2030, to cut 40,000-55,000 jobs by the end of the decade.
In an interview with the [*Financial Times*](https://www.ft.com/content/c8d41424-f2d9-418e-8da2-55823f1c22ca), Kirkby stated: „Depending on what we learn from AI… there may be an opportunity for BT to be even smaller by the end of the decade.“
How is it AIs fault that CEOs are funneling money into its development? Such a nice scapegoat to avoid having to say „CEO warns that their plan to slash labor costs is almost complete“
Kirby earns £1.1M a year, so replacing her would be a very quick way to save money.
