The measures will initially result in costs of around 650 million dollars. According to the most recent figures at the end of October last year, HP had around 58,000 employees. After that, however, the Group extended a previously announced reduction of around 7,000 jobs by a further 1,000 to 2,000 jobs. Current employee figures are not expected to be available again until soon.

According to HP, the new reduction of 4,000 to 6,000 jobs is part of a plan to increase productivity, innovation and customer satisfaction through the increased use of AI. Artificial intelligence has so far been used in American companies to program software, among other things, and is also intended to improve data analysis.

In recent months, several jobs have been cut in the tech industry with reference to AI applications. In October, Amazon announced the reduction of around 14,000 administrative jobs, citing changes in the organization in times of artificial intelligence.

In the last financial quarter, HP increased its turnover by a good four percent year-on-year to 14.6 billion dollars. Profit fell by twelve percent to 0.8 billion dollars.
