55% of Business Leaders Now Regret AI-Driven Layoffs

After more than a year of companies cutting jobs in favor of AI, the pendulum may be starting to swing back. A new Forrester survey found that 55% of business leaders regret making AI-driven layoffs, with analysts predicting that roughly half of those job cuts could eventually be reversed. Companies including Ford, IBM, Alphabet, Booz Allen Hamilton, and CSX are already hiring again after discovering that AI wasn't replacing workers as effectively—or as cheaply—as expected. In many cases, businesses realized experienced employees were still essential to train, oversee, and improve AI systems.

Key Takeaways:

• A Forrester survey found 55% of leaders regret AI-related layoffs, with many expected to reverse those decisions.

• Ford, IBM, Alphabet, Booz Allen Hamilton, and CSX have all resumed hiring after running into AI implementation challenges.

• Employers are increasingly recognizing that experienced workers are critical for training, supervising, and getting the most value from AI.

America's Largest Power Grid Will Cut Data Center Electricity During Shortages

The operator of the largest electrical grid in the U.S., PJM Interconnection, says it will begin temporarily cutting power to large data centers during electricity shortages starting in June 2027. The policy applies to new data centers using 50 megawatts or more and comes as AI-driven demand for electricity continues to surge, with data center power consumption expected to quadruple by 2035. Companies affected will be compensated for participating, similar to existing demand response programs, but many are now expected to invest in on-site power generation or rely more heavily on backup diesel generators.

Key Takeaways:

• PJM will temporarily cut power to large data centers during grid shortages beginning in June 2027.

• Data center electricity demand is projected to increase fourfold by 2035, putting growing pressure on the U.S. power grid.

• The move is likely to accelerate investment in private power generation and other infrastructure needed to support AI expansion.
