In an interview with Bloomberg, IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said that tech company is slowing or suspending hiring for any jobs that could possibly be done by AI — including, somehow, human resources and other non-customer-facing roles that amount to roughly 26,000 positions.


"I could easily see 30 percent of that getting replaced by AI and automation over a five-year period," Krishna told the publication, which means that in total, AI could replace up to 7,800 jobs.
