وال‌استریت ژورنال خبر آورده که غول بانکی بارکلیز داره امسال حدود ۵ هزار نفر از نیروهاش یعنی نزدیک ۵ درصد کل پرسنل رو به خاطر بازدهی بالای هوش مصنوعی تعدیل می‌کنه

WSJ: Barclays will cut about 5,000 jobs this year, roughly 5% of staff, citing AI efficiency gains. About 1,000 of those roles went in the first half of 2026, and the rest go before year end. Around 60% of the cuts fall on support functions, “including fewer developers as AI makes our people more productive,” said Chief Executive C.S. Venkatakrishnan. All these while 3rd-quarter pretax profit rose 12% to £2.3B. Among rivals, HSBC is reportedly weighing up to 20,000 role cuts over the coming years, while Standard Chartered plans to shrink corporate function roles by more than 15% by 2030. Venkatakrishnan calls AI the icing rather than the cake, because its savings depend on infrastructure built beforehand.
