BT Boss: AI Could Worsen Job Cuts, Openreach Spin-Off Possible

BT, a major British phone and internet company, is planning to reduce its workforce.

The new boss, Allison Kirkby, believes AI could lead to even more job cuts than originally planned.

The company already planned to cut thousands of jobs to save money.

Kirkby thinks AI could help them do more with fewer people.

She's also considering spinning off Openreach, the part of BT that handles internet and phone lines.

Last month the company said it did well with fiber internet, offsetting other declines.
