Uber Cuts 10% of Customer Service Jobs Amid AI-Driven Restructuring
Uber Technologies has cut approximately 10% of its customer service workforce within the community operations team, marking the first time the company has directly linked layoffs to artificial intelligence (AI) adoption. The move aims to simplify operations, enhance in-person collaboration, and better integrate AI technologies. Employees working remotely were also asked to relocate to hub offices, aligning with Uber's return-to-office policy. This follows a prior round of workforce reductions in June and reflects a broader tech industry trend of AI-driven restructuring.
