| Efficiency is in the AI for the board seat holder, but a lot of organizations are wrestling to find the beauty in that.
As cuts to IT workforces gather pace, however, and CEOs feel the squeeze, the message being conveyed is AI can, and must, offset the human cost.

In our lead story today, Grant Gross explores how several boards are pushing CEOs to cut 20% of workforce costs and what, or who, are in the crosshairs — and what kind of new workforce will emerge from the fallout. The answers are more complex than you might think, and the irony won’t be lost on IT leaders.
