Klarna Stopped Hiring: AI, and the Future of Work
This episode discusses Klarna's CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski's, claim that AI can perform all human tasks, leading Klarna to halt hiring and reduce its workforce by 1,000 employees while increasing business volume and profits. However, the second source notes that Klarna still has open job positions, suggesting AI's role is to augment, not entirely replace, human workers. The articles highlight the broader trend of AI impacting employment across industries, with IBM also cited as exploring AI-driven automation. Ultimately, both sources emphasise the need for adaptation and upskilling in the face of evolving AI capabilities.
