Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here to stay, that much we know, but in recent weeks a very frustrating news item has been making the rounds: the catastrophic future in which machines replace humans has arrived.

IBM, one of the most important technology companies in the world, has eliminated approximately 8,000 jobs within the Human Resources (HR) Department. Why? You can probably guess: AI has taken over everything. The “repetitive” jobs, reading vacation requests, managing payroll or internal company documentation will now be handled by AI systems, like the AskHR platform. Are we facing the future or a step backward?

Of course, for IBM this is great news (not for us mortals who need a salaried job to survive in this system), because thanks to this move they’ve been able to save billions of dollars and optimize their resources. They’ve managed to boost their efficiency so much that they’ve optimized more than 70 lines of business. But of course… this change raises some questions
