Standard Chartered sẽ cắt giảm hơn 7.000 việc làm trong bốn năm, tăng đầu tư vào AI

The Huoxing Finance report states that on May 19, according to Reuters, Standard Chartered Bank plans to eliminate more than 7,000 positions over the next four years, using technology to replace "low-value human capital," making it the latest financial institution to leverage artificial intelligence to drive large-scale layoffs. The London-based bank stated on Tuesday that AI will help streamline its operations to enhance profitability and compete effectively. Standard Chartered said it will cut 15% of corporate function roles by 2030. According to Reuters calculations, this means over 7,000 employees among the more than 52,000 staff in relevant departments will be laid off. CEO Bill Winters told reporters: "This is not simply about cost-cutting; in some cases, it’s about replacing low-value human capital with our financial and investment capital."
