Overview

• A Creatio survey of more than 550 decision-makers finds only 11% expect significant headcount reductions from AI, with most leaders anticipating tools that support existing teams.
• Indeed’s AI at Work Report says 26% of posted roles are highly susceptible to task transformation, while just 19 skills (0.7% of those analyzed) are very likely to be fully replaced.
• Software development sits at the sharp end of change, with Indeed estimating 81% of skills in typical postings fall into hybrid transformation, a shift that Google’s DORA report warns could disrupt traditional apprenticeship paths.
• Fast Company reports Google recently terminated about 200 AI contractors in annotation and evaluation, underscoring cuts to human-in-the-loop roles that have underpinned model quality.
• OpenAI executives contend coding work is being augmented rather than replaced as new GPT‑5 Codex tools handle routine tasks, while experts cited by Business Insider say broad productivity gains remain uneven and upskilling is becoming essential.
