AI, Layoffs, and the New Corporate Script

from Generative AI 101 Hosted by Emily Laird

Host Emily Laird takes on the month AI became the top stated reason for layoffs, and asks the question everybody with a badge and a mortgage is already thinking. This episode slices through the hype, the panic, and the consultant-grade nonsense to show how companies are framing cuts, shifting budgets, and rewriting the rules of work in public. Think Skynet by way of investor relations, with a side of legal-approved spin.
