The world of technology is going through a major change in 2025, but this change is not just technical but also human. In the first half of this year, jobs of more than 62,000 people have gone and the process of trimming big companies has not stopped yet.

Human jobs are left behind in AI race

Between the increasing influence of AI and automation, companies are showing the way out to thousands of employees in the name of reducing their costs and increasing operational efficiency. On the other hand, these companies are also investing billions of dollars in AI. That is, technology is moving forward, but humans are missing behind.

Intel’s historical trim

Intel has announced its biggest pruning ever. The company is going to remove more than 21,700 employees, which is about 20 percent of its total workforce. Apart from this, 15–20 percent of the staff will also be removed from the Intel Foundry Division in retrenchment starting from July.

Auto and retail sector also impact

NISSAN plans to finish 20,000 jobs by 2027. Decreasing sales and American tariffs in China are the main reasons for this. Starbucks have also fired 1,100 people from their corporate staff, so that the company can work more quickly and less.

Small and mid-size business too

What is the next AI era coming?

This trimming is not just the story of recession or business loss. This is also the knock of the arrival of the AI ​​era. While companies are ending traditional roles on the one hand, on the other hand the demand for people with AI-based skills is increasing rapidly.

Race of human capital vs machine

The face of the world of technology in 2025 is changing rapidly. While AI is creating new opportunities, it has also become a crisis of livelihood of thousands of people. Now the question is whether this strategy of companies will help them last longer or will they be heavy in human capital?

In fact, the Donald Trump administration has a large -scale government retrenchment under the DOGE (Government Efficiency Department) policy, which made thousands of government employees unemployed. China has become active to take advantage of this.

Chinese intelligence agencies are targeting unemployed American federal employees and they are being seduced to leak sensitive information through fake jobs and counseling firms.

How is this operation being done?
According to the Reuters report, the network -linked networks are attracting these former government employees through fake job listings, fake counseling agencies.

3.Sensitive information is sought during the job application process, without telling that it can use Chinese intelligence agencies.

4.The new unemployed are deliberately targeted, as they are financially struggling and can come quickly in temptation.

Dog tritter and China’s strategy
A large number of American intelligence, employees who had worked in defense and cyber security sectors suddenly became unemployed due to Doge’s trimming. Many of these officers were associated with top-secret government projects. According to experts, China is mainly targeting those who have recently been expelled from the government and unemployed, who have experience of working in national security, defense and intelligence, who need a new job and who are financially weak.

How does this network of China works?
According to the investigation by Reuters’ reports and cyber security researcher Max Laser, several fake counseling firms (Rivarmarg Strategies and Wavex Innovation) are recruiting former US government employees.

How are they operating?
On analyzing data of these companies, it was revealed that these Smio is digitally connected to a Chinese firm called Intelligence. The job advertisement is specially made by targeting ‘recently extracted American federal employees’. The addresses of the offices of fake companies are often related to empty or shell companies. A former employee said that two unnamed Chinese agents named ‘Eric’ and ‘Will’ gave him thousands of dollars to post job listing.

CIA adopted a similar strategy in Russia, in which he was trying to recruit Russian officials by posting videos on dark web and telegram. At the same time, in 2020, a person named ‘June Wei Yeo’ of Singapore had confessed to gathering information by giving fake consulting jobs to American government officials.
