From my experience, AI hasn't led to job cuts. Instead, companies are keeping their employees and but they aren't hiring people to replace those who have left.
Why does the link on “ 27,000 job cuts have been directly linked to artificial intelligence since 2023.”
Not link to anything related to job cuts as a direct result of AI?
Perhaps: "The Independent has been an innovator and early adopter of new technology since its inception. Our approach to Artificial Intelligence is no different. We use AI in multiple ways to empower our journalists and free them up to spend more of their time creating original work."
