According to multiple reports, tech giant Microsoft is not just restructuring for efficiency or streamlining operations. It's actively exploring ways to replace human workers with AI agents, even as internal morale nosedives and key game projects face uncertain futures.

Microsoft has confirmed that it will lay-off as many as 9,000 workers, in the tech giant's latest wave of job cuts this year. The company said several divisions would be affected without specifying which ones but reports suggest that its Xbox video gaming unit will be hit.

They say that AI could eventually replace the jobs done by humans. For some employees at Microsoft and its gaming division, that future is here, as it has been hit with 9,000 layoffs. This is according to a report from Bloomberg and a letter sent by Xbox head Phil Spencer that was seen (and authenticated) by Windows Central.
