AI in 2026: Layoffs and Offshoring Jobs

Welcome to our candid AI community – a space for open, evidence-based discussions on how artificial intelligence is reshaping employment in real time. This 1-hour virtual event is open to all: workers facing uncertainty, professionals navigating changes, experts, and anyone concerned about the future of jobs. Bring your experiences, questions, or data – no background required, just respect and honesty.
What we'll discuss:

• AI's acceleration in 2026 and its direct link to widespread layoffs, including tech giants citing AI for cuts and broader workforce reductions
• Key technologies behind the shift, such as AI agents automating tasks and "ghost worker" models blending AI with low-cost offshore labor
• Real impacts on workers and economies: entry-level and mid-level job losses, offshoring disguised as AI progress, ethical concerns over transparency, and rising challenges like unemployment in exposed sectors

We keep it grounded and supportive – every viewpoint (optimism, concern, personal stories) is valued, as long as it's constructive and respectful. Your input shapes the conversation – join us to navigate this critical year together!
