Pinterest reveals major job cuts as it shift focus to AI tools

• Pinterest has confirmed it will lay off around 15% of its workers (700+) by September
• AI hasn't replaced human workers, but it's being blamed for the cost cutting
• Quarterly revenue growth has been in a good place for a long time

Pinterest has revealed it will be reducing its headcount by around 15% as it looks to cut costs – even its office spaces are being questioned as an internal strategy shift towards AI tools comes into play.

Although the company has not confirmed the exact number of workers it expects to make redundant, current estimations claim 700-800 roles will be lost, based on previous headcount figures from 2024 and 2025.

Unsurprisingly, AI is being blamed for the job losses, but not quite in the way you may expect, as human jobs aren't explicitly being replaced by AI bots.
