Salesforce Shifts Gear, Embracing Ai as Job-Sharing Partner
Salesforce has announced it will not be hiring more engineers in 2025 due to the productivity gains of its agentic AI technology. The company's CEO, Marc Benioff, claims that human workers and AI agents can work together effectively, with Salesforce seeing a significant 30% increase in engineering productivity. As the firm invests heavily in AI, it envisions a future where CEOs manage both humans and agents to drive business growth.
