T-Net/BC Technology republished Globe and Mail-described metadata saying BenchSci cut 23% of staff, about 83 jobs, as it went all-in on adopting generative AI to do work formerly done by humans.
Since May, BenchSci has cut 23 per cent of staff - about 83 jobs - as it goes all-in on adopting generative AI to do work formerly done by humans, the company said in an e-mail.
The original Globe and Mail article was not fully accessible in CLI, but the T-Net/BC Technology page exposes full article metadata with the key Globe-described count and company-email causality language. Because the source text says generative AI would do work formerly done by humans, this is classified as explicit AI cited.
