Deloitte: 800 jobs cut

Deloitte placed up to 800 roles at risk, primarily in its consulting division, as AI tools reshape the advisory landscape and reduce demand for traditional consulting services. The connection to AI is moderate — while the company is investing in AI capabilities, the layoffs were attributed to broader restructuring alongside technology adoption. Of the 800 total positions affected, our methodology estimates that approximately 320 roles (40%) are attributable to AI-driven changes. This is part of a broader pattern in Professional Services where companies are restructuring operations around AI capabilities while reducing headcount in functions susceptible to automation.
