Jim Cramer, the host of Mad Money, spoke on Wednesday about the growing concern that artificial intelligence could lead to widespread job cuts.
A couple of weeks ago, Jack Dorsey, CEO of Block, the old Square, did the unthinkable, saying he would cut his workforce almost in half from 10,000 people to just 6,000. Why? Because AI tools make it possible for a smaller number of people to do a lot more with less. Oh, it was brutal. But Dorsey said it was inevitable… He explained, “I believe the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes.”

Being someone who has long believed chief executives may earn far more than workers, Cramer added that he hopes these kinds of layoffs do not become common. He said that the rise of AI agents could just as easily lead companies to employ more people rather than fewer, because the tools might act as powerful force multipliers for human workers. He mentioned that one could argue that if businesses expand hiring, they could end up performing even better than they do today. However, he noted that his experience watching Silicon Valley makes it easier to picture technology companies pushing fully into AI and “pulling a Dorsey.”
Listen, I didn’t like what Dorsey said at all… But if all these big tech companies have to raise money to build their AI presence, I gotta believe they’re thinking about firing people just like Dorsey. Let’s face it, all these big tech companies have way too many employees if the wonder of AI agentry is true. After all, the reason these companies can raise money at the drop of a hat may be because Dorsey’s right. Sure, Block is in a unique situation as a fintech firm needed help, but the odds don’t favor that. They favor the new world. Let’s just hope there’s something for everyone.
