AI to shake up Salesforce workforce with possible shift to sales over IT

With the help of AI, Salesforce can probably do without some staff. At the same time, the company needs salespeople trained in new AI products, CEO Marc Benioff has stated.

Salesforce apparently wants to cut 1,000 jobs to hire new staff elsewhere as part of an effort to bring its new AI products to customers, according to financial news service Bloomberg, citing internal sources.

Employees who are being laid off can apply for other positions in the software company, Bloomberg reported. It is not known which departments are specifically affected by the job cuts.
