General Motors has laid off more than 10 percent of its IT department, approximately 600 employees. This decision was made as part of strategic changes aimed at increasing the company's capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
Company representatives stated that these cuts are not just about reducing headcount, but about aligning the IT department with future requirements. GM is currently actively seeking experts with deep knowledge in artificial intelligence, data engineering, cloud technologies, and model development.
GM is now prioritizing engineers who can design systems from scratch, train models, and create complex AI workflows over employees who simply use AI tools. These changes are aimed at increasing the company's competitiveness in autonomous vehicles and software.
In recent months, the company has recruited experienced professionals from major tech enterprises such as Apple and Cruise. This reorganization process shows that large corporations are moving beyond simply adding new tools to fundamentally upgrading their entire workforce when implementing artificial intelligence.
