IBM spent years telling the market that AI would replace entry-level work. Then the results came in.
Productivity dropped. Quality slipped. The company is now tripling Gen Z hiring for software and support roles they once planned to automate.
Their own CHRO said the future belongs to companies that kept building talent pipelines instead of betting everything on replacement.
The $2B write-down is the quiet part nobody wants to say out loud: automation only works when you still have people who understand what they’re automating.
