Concurrently the first very big shifts are also happening in the tech industry. Adoption of new tools has led companies to rejig their roles and lay off workers.

FOR years the big thinkers of Silicon Valley said many industries would be permanently altered by artificial intelligence. Radiologists would be out of jobs.

Lawyers would stop writing briefs and contracts. And Wall Street wouldn't need as many bankers.

It is unclear if those predictions of white-collar doom will come to pass. Unemployment for young students entering the work force has jumped, but the overall employment picture has not changed very much. 

Radiologists are still working. Lawyers are still writing contracts, or so they claim. Wall Street bonuses are hitting record highs.

But nearly four years after OpenAI in the A.I. boom with the ChatGPT chatbot, the one industry that is unquestionably being disrupted by this once-in-a-generation technology shift is the tech industry itself.

Tech workers, it is becoming clear, have been building their A.I. replacements.

The profitable business models of software companies are also threatened by A.I.

Even the way companies are built is being turned inside out, as tiny shops use A.I. to build apps and software that would have taken dozens of skilled programmers just a few years ago.

'' Silicon Valley is this really interesting petri dish right now of all of this change and transformation,''  said Aaron Levie, the chief executive of Box, a company that makes software for starting and managing data.

Generative A.I. made by companies like OpenAI,  Anthropic and Google can do many things. The one task it has become particularly good at is computer programming.

That has given many tech companies the chance to clean house, even if the executives stop short of saying that's what they're doing.

'' If you think A.I. is this amazing productivity pill, and doesn't lay anyone off and just double your revenue, '' said Ted Egan, chief economist for the City and County of San Francisco. '' But that's  definitely not what they're doing.''

So far this year, more than 70 tech companies have eliminated at least 40,000 jobs, according to Layoffs.fyi, which tracks job cuts in the industry.

Block, the financial services company that owns Square, Cash App and Tidal, laid off 40 percent of its work force in February, or about 4,000 employees.

'' We're already seeing that the intelligence tools we're creating and using, paired with smaller and flatter teams, are enabling a new way of working which fundamentally changes what it means to build and run a company,'' Jack Dorway, Block's top executive, wrote in a social media post.

Other companies have said they are laying off workers to finance their efforts in A.I., as the cost of developing and running the technology continues to climb.

In March, Atlassian, which makes workplace collaboration software, cut 10 percent of its staff, or about 1,600 employees, "to self-fund further investment in A.I."

"Our approach is not 'A.I. replaces people,' " Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s chief executive, wrote in a blog post. "But it would be disingenuous to pretend A.I. doesn’t change the mix of skills we need or the number of roles required in certain areas. It does."

The leaders of the biggest tech companies have also said A.I. will reshape their work forces. In June, Amazon's chief executive. Andy Jassy, said the company would operate with fewer corporate workers over time.

In January, Mark Zuckerberg, Meta's chief executive said, '' We're trying to see projects that used to require big teams now be accomplished by a single very talented person.

'' That has left plenty of their employees worried about job cuts.'' .
