Layoffs have been a defining feature of the job market in 2025, with several major companies announcing thousands of job cuts driven by artificial intelligence.

In fact, AI was responsible for almost 55,000 layoffs in the U.S. this year, according to consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

Let's look at the job requirements for executive level and see who has the advantage.

  1. Biological relation to other C-suites....humans win.

  2. Ability to spout an endless stream of nonsensical garbage... AI wins (it was close however).

  3. Wasting valuable resources for little to no gain.... AI wins.

  4. Ability to kiss ass.... Humans win.

  5. Making correct conclusions based upon available information... AI wins (only wrong 60-70% of the time).

  6. Ability to claim other people's work as their own... Too close to tell. Gonna have to give this one a tie.

  7. Ability and desire to harm/kill other people for personal gain. Humans still win.
