Remote workers are far more likely to get laid off than replaced by artificial intelligence – with the isolation also leaving home-based employees more vulnerable to mental health issues, shocking new data shows. A new Gallup poll of recently axed employees found that a whopping 25% were fully remote, while a measly 1% actually lost their jobs due to AI. Despite widespread hysteria over AI-related job displacement, laid-off workers pointed to restructuring, budget cuts, economic conditions and lost business as the primary reasons for their job loss.
