"Uber Cuts 10% of Community Operations Team"

Global mobility platform Uber has announced a 10% reduction in its community operations team.

In an email statement on the 22nd, an Uber spokesperson announced the layoffs, stating that the company is working to "simplify organizational operations, strengthen in-person collaboration, and continue embracing artificial intelligence (AI)."

Maga Yadegar, Vice President of Global Community Operations, explained that while the company has made "some progress" in utilizing AI, "we need an effective organization built to layer AI on top of in order to unlock this potential."

Bloomberg reported that this is the first time Uber has linked layoffs to its push for efficiency through AI.

Uber announced in May that it would slow down hiring due to AI adoption, and in June, it cut 23% of its human resources personnel.
