Shopee might have laid off hundreds of its employees for AI

Shopee is reportedly laying off hundreds of developers, which is expected to impact around 8% of its development staff. The move is due to the adoption of artificial intelligence in developing new services. This is why it’s a big deal.

More companies are pivoting to AI these days

Apart from involving the development department, Shopee is expected to lay off more employees from other departments. Previously, various technology companies have also started choosing to reduce their headcount and use artificial intelligence to fill the gaps. This is also indirectly seen to help reduce operating costs.

Unfortunately, the number of Malaysian workers affected by this change has not been disclosed at this time. So, we should wait for more announcements or news from Shopee. If you are affected by this change, we hope everything will go smoothly.
