The business world is changing fast this week because of artificial intelligence. Companies are using AI to do work that humans used to do, leading to job losses and new types of work. Let's look at the main impacts.

Big job cuts happened at Indeed and Glassdoor. These job-finding websites fired 1,300 workers because their parent company wants more AI. The boss said AI now writes computer code and handles hiring tasks, meaning fewer people are needed. In fact, AI already writes one-third of their new code and will soon do half. This shows how AI is taking over tasks in human resources.

Top company leaders made strong predictions about future job losses. Executives from Ford, JPMorgan, and Amazon agreed that AI will remove millions of office jobs. They spoke at a meeting about workers, warning that jobs in finance, human resources, and administration are most at risk. The Ford CEO even said AI might replace half of all U.S. white-collar jobs.

Not all news is about job losses though. In Vietnam, publishing companies found good uses for AI. They use it to edit books, translate languages, and create new content faster. This helps them make textbooks quicker and sell them in other countries. The technology also cuts costs for these publishers while helping them grow.

The finance industry shows how jobs are changing. Banks now need workers with "hybrid" skills - people who understand both finance and technology. A new study explains that workers must know when to trust AI and when to double-check its work. This is creating brand new roles that mix human thinking with computer help.

Businesses are investing heavily in this shift. A recent survey found that while only 1% of companies feel they're fully using AI, a huge 92% plan to spend more money on it in the next three years. Companies see AI as essential for staying competitive.

As jobs change, worker training becomes crucial. Business leaders urged companies to help employees learn new skills for the AI era. They emphasized that while some jobs disappear, workers who learn to use new tools will find opportunities.

This week proves that AI transformation is happening quickly across all kinds of businesses - from car makers to book publishers. The changes create both challenges for workers who lose jobs and chances for those who adapt. Companies worldwide must balance saving money with helping their employees learn new skills for the future.
