Translated data: IBM CEO Arvind Krishna stated at a Fortune CEO Initiative conference that artificial intelligence (AI) will not impact the company's software developer positions, and he plans to not only avoid layoffs but also increase the number of developers. However, he also plans to cut some back-office positions, including human resources (HR) roles. Like other tech giants, IBM is improving operational efficiency by reducing support staff positions. A McKinsey report suggests that with the emergence of more automated tools, the workflow for developers may undergo significant changes.
