CEOs are getting closer to finally saying it — AI will wipe out more jobs than they can count

• Tech workers are finding out what it's like to be replaced by AI.
• IBM said on Monday that it would pause hiring on roles that it thought AI could do instead.
• It's the boldest statement yet from tech firms turning to AI to help them get efficient.

What's it like to be told that you're not just out of a job, but that your bosses think your job can be done by AI? Tech workers are about to find out. 

On Monday, per a report by Bloomberg, it emerged that IBM is preparing to pause hiring on roles that it believed could be better performed by AI. That leaves 7,800 jobs at the tech giant vulnerable to being eradicated for good.
