If AI spending is only improving the bottom line via job cuts, you’re doing AI spending wrong. You’re misinterpreting gains from reduced payroll expenses as increased productivity or market share. What a fucking mistake. If AI spending isn’t directly contributing to sales in some fashion, then you’re just clowning around by pushing money from payrolls to revenue. Your company hasn’t innovated, your product hasn’t become more attractive or competitive, and your business is just as profitable as it was prior to the AI spending.
