Mass layoffs are sweeping across Big Tech, and artificial intelligence is at the centre of it.
In just the first quarter of 2026, more than 73,000 jobs have been cut across 95 companies.
From Meta’s planned workforce reductions to cuts at Amazon, Snap, Oracle and others, companies are restructuring around AI, building leaner teams where automation replaces repetitive human tasks.
But this isn’t just an efficiency story.
Employee health data shows a sharp rise in stress, anxiety and burnout, especially among young professionals. Studies indicate up to 80% of IT workers report high stress levels, while more than 70% show symptoms linked to mental health conditions.
As companies double down on AI investments, the future of work is being rewritten in real time.
The question is no longer whether AI will change jobs, but how workers will adapt to a system that needs fewer of them.
