Salesforce, a big software company, is using special robots (AI) to do 30-50% of the work.
This means the company might not need as many people to do certain jobs.
The company is now focusing on using AI to make their work better and faster.
Other tech companies are also starting to use AI.
AI might change how many jobs are available for people.
Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says AI is handling 30-50% of the company's work.
The company is restructuring around AI, following mass layoffs earlier in the year.
Salesforce CFO stated AI is enabling the company to hire fewer software engineers.
Benioff calls it a 'digital labour revolution' and highlights AI's 93% accuracy.
