Dozens of journalists have been sacked after Tech Giant Microsoft decided to replace them with artificial intelligence software. Those media staff used to maintain the news homepages on the MSN website and its Edge browser that is browsed every day by millions of people worldwide.
“Stories in the MSN website and the Edge browser homepage will now be AI-generated.”
“Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time to time, redeployment in others. These decisions are not the result of the current pandemic.” Microsoft said in a statement.
