Microsoft laid off 9,000 employees, about 4% of its workforce, even as it invests billions in AI technology. Company leaders say AI will eliminate many routine jobs but also create new opportunities in advanced areas. While thousands of tech workers were displaced, demand for AI experts soared, with companies offering high salaries to attract top talent. This and more on the Tech Field Day News Rundown with Alastair Cooke and guest host Gina Rosenthal.
