Uber doubles down on ChatGPT for workers after last month's layoffs

What happened: Uber is giving all of its corporate employees access to OpenAI's enterprise tool ChatGPT Work, weeks after laying off thousands of workers. Key numbers: About 30,000 office employees will have access. Uber initially tested the tool with 1,000 employees. Why it matters: The rollout follows job cuts Uber made to reduce management layers and small teams. Some laid-off employees said AI was doing significant parts of their jobs. Uber cited AI as a reason for an earlier round of layoffs in July targeting customer service employees.
