Employment and trust shaken behind AI investment

As spending on AI increases, the burden is manifesting itself in layoffs and reshuffling of roles. Google has expanded the scope of voluntary retirement to five countries due to rising AI costs. On the other hand, VeriHarm, which measured coding agents, achieved an average of 37% success without causing the specified harm, even though the accuracy of the task reached an average of 95%. Even the same implementation will be evaluated differently depending on what and how far to entrust it and how to check the results, rather than whether or not to proceed with the investment. In the following sections, we look at personnel and costs, practical application and validation in medical and other fields, bias and harmful success, and the distance set by states and users.

The cost burden of AI is first reflected in the number of personnel and their roles. Google has expanded voluntary retirement to five countries due to rising AI costs (Traders Union). Israel's nice has reportedly cut 500 jobs and is struggling to cope with the transition to AI (CTech). What these two companies have in common is that they have compensated for the increased spending on AI by adjusting their personnel. The decision to introduce a technology is not determined solely by the performance of the technology. When we look at personnel costs and investment amounts in the same ledger, we are asked at the same time which jobs and how much to keep.
