1. A wave of layoffs sweeps across China - IBM has experienced multiple rounds of layoffs around the world. In January 2023, it announced a layoff of 3,900 people. In the second half of 2023, it suspended recruitment and planned to replace nearly 8,000 jobs with artificial intelligence. In China, IBM's layoffs have begun to have a significant impact on the workplace. Hundreds of product development and testing employees have been laid off, which marks the impact of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology on traditional career models.

2. Adjustment of access rights - While laying off employees, IBM also adjusted the access rights of employees. Employees in R&D and testing positions across the country, including Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian and other places, have been removed from the company's intranet access rights, but can still continue to access emails. This shows that IBM is actively responding to the impact of the artificial intelligence era on work patterns.

3. New opportunities and challenges in the AI ​​era - The advent of the AI ​​era has not only changed the way IBM works, but also triggered people's concerns and expectations about future career development. Some people are worried about the stability of their jobs, but at the same time, many people have seen the opportunities brought by AI technology and are actively seeking new development directions.

"The wave of technology is sweeping the world" - Technology has begun to change the way we live around the world. IBM's layoffs are just one example of how the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology is affecting traditional career models.

"Technical Strength and Social Responsibility" - As technology develops, we need to think about how to balance the opportunities and challenges brought by technology, and how to use AI technology to create more value for society.
