A recent survey has found that 55% of business leaders who laid off employees because of AI now say the decision was wrong. The finding comes from Orgvue’s annual research on how companies are using AI in the workplace.
Orgvue said 39% of business leaders reported making employees redundant as a result of deploying AI, and 55% of that group admitted they made the wrong decision about those redundancies. Report from CNBC also said some employers are now reversing those decisions and bringing workers back after AI did not deliver the expected results.
The survey points to a growing gap between expectations and execution as companies move faster on automation than on workforce planning. It suggests that replacing people with AI has not always produced the outcomes leaders anticipated.
The findings add to a broader debate over how companies should use AI without cutting roles too aggressively. For now, the data indicates that many leaders who moved to reduce headcount in the name of AI are reconsidering that approach.
