Reported layoffs: Unknown
Industry: Logistics · Geography: United States
C.H. Robinson disclosed another round of headcount cuts after rolling out generative-AI agents across quoting, order entry, appointments, and tracking, saying the tools were lifting manual work and raising productivity.
Today C.H. Robinson announced it has performed over 3 million shipping tasks with its fleet of generative AI agents... "That's 3 million manual tasks our people didn't have to do"... "Generative AI played a key role in the company's 30% productivity increase across 2023 and 2024."
Layoff timing was covered in late-2025 reporting; AI linkage is unusually direct from the company's own operational disclosures, but I left the count null because the later cut was described without a hard public number in the cleanest source chain I could verify quickly.
