The Uber Human Resources Department (including human resources and recruitment positions) has laid off 23% of its staff, affecting employees across the entire recruitment and personnel spectrum, accounting for well below 1% of its total workforce of 34,000. CEO Dara Khosrowshahi stated in an internal memo that this restructuring aims to maximize the effectiveness of the human resources team and unlock the company's future development potential. New President Jill Hazelbaker said the layoffs are intended to build a more collaborative, modern, and operationally efficient organizational structure. She pointed out that some business segments suffer from issues such as bloated structures, overlapping job responsibilities, unclear division of authority and responsibility, and disconnection from frontline operations and partners. Uber did not attribute the layoffs to artificial intelligence, but confirmed this week that it has set tiered usage budgets and implemented a graded payment system for autonomous intelligent tools used by employees. The monthly cost for the basic tier is $1,500, with fees increasing for higher tiers. This standard represents a flexible usage limit for autonomous intelligence and programming tools, with separate budgets allocated for different tools, and the tiered budget management system has been in place for several months. Additionally, Dara Khosrowshahi participated in a podcast recording and Q&A session at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center in Washington, discussing the impact of artificial intelligence on the mobility industry, covering topics such as autonomous driving, industry regulation, market competition, and industry outlook predictions.
