Chowdeck, a Nigerian food delivery company based in Lagos, Nigeria, commenced the year with 120 staff members.
Due to disruptions caused by AI, 86 staff members out of 120 were sacked and made redundant last week, and their roles were replaced with AI.
For Chowdesk, this decision was straightforward.
AI can perform tasks previously undertaken by these 86 staff members, rendering it financially imprudent to retain them.
A leaner Chowdesk with fewer staff enables the company to achieve cost savings by the end of the month, rather than allocating substantial resources to salaries.
AI is poised to impact and disrupt traditional job roles, affecting us all.
Are we prepared for what is coming?
