Telstra forces ALL of its staff to use AI

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14999217/telsta-ai-profits-wfh.html

"Telstra staff have been told they will be expected to use artificial intelligence every day in their jobs, while continuing to enjoy the option of working remotely from anywhere.

'Flexible working is absolutely a core part of how we operate,' chief executive Vicki Brady said on Thursday, describing the company's push to embed AI into all roles as part of a broader strategy to 'radically innovate' its operations.

For employees, that means finding ways AI can boost productivity, regardless of whether they work from home or in the office. "

Like most industries, they closed their training schools (Tooronga, Hartwell, Gillies St, Tram Rd, Strathfield , Chermside, Manning, Sth.Melbourne, etc etc..) and stopped providing REAL training to technical staff.

Then, (surprise, surprise) - they all complained about difficulties in finding skilled staff and started hiring overseas workers.

The increased use of AI possibly means that there is not much REAL intelligence left in the company due to all the layoffs - and a lack of proper training for the remaining staff.
