Yet, in public, these same leaders insist they’re still hiring and that employees remain essential.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Lemkin pointed to companies like Klarna and Duolingo, which faced criticism after announcing AI-driven changes, only to backtrack later. O’Driscoll noted that CEOs are avoiding discussions about job losses to prevent employee unrest, instead using vague promises that AI will "enable more interesting work."\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Klarna’s CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, stated in December that AI "can already do everything" humans do, adding that the company halted hiring over a year ago.
