Based on news reporting.
Summary
SAP, the German software giant based in Walldorf, said that in a round of restructuring two years ago it cut nearly 10,000 jobs, and the company acknowledged some of those cuts were a result of AI automating tasks. SAP did not provide a breakdown of how many of those reductions were specifically related to AI or which job types were eliminated. Company leaders say they have since added more than 3,500 jobs on net since 2023 and are encouraging workers to create new AI-augmented roles to avoid further reductions. The article frames the layoffs in the broader context of AI's impact on software engineering, SAP’s strategic pivot toward AI-driven services, and concerns about reliance on U.S. AI models and potential future risks to jobs.
