    I work in tech for a large financial company (not JP Morgan) and they’ve invested heavily in AI and expect a return. But it’s a multi-pronged approach. More offshoring. Transitioning from internally maintained platforms to external SaaS solutions. More aggressively performance managing staff out of the company including older workers like myself. Setting expectations for those who will remain that they will be expected to use AI to work much faster with smaller teams.

    So AI isn’t the sole cause. But it is accelerating the trends that were already happening.
