The Great AI Layoff Lie

from The Jim Stroud Podcast · host Jim Stroud

Is AI really replacing workers, or are companies using it to justify decisions they already planned to make? Jim Stroud sits down with technology equity activist and AI for Job Security Foundation President Leigh Felton to discuss AI washing, failed automation experiments, responsible AI, workplace bias, and the risks of allowing algorithms to make decisions about human potential. They also explore why some companies are rehiring the people they replaced and how workers can use AI without surrendering their judgment, creativity, or career security.
