Oracle Cuts 21,000 Jobs in AI-Driven Restructuring

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from ProPakistani ·

Oracle reduced its global workforce by approximately 21,000 employees over the past fiscal year as part of a restructuring focused on AI. The layoffs reflect a broader trend of tech companies automating roles and shifting resources toward AI development. Oracle's workforce now stands at its lowest level in years, signaling a strategic pivot toward AI-centric operations.

Meridian48 take
