Siemens: 6,000 jobs cut

Siemens cut approximately 6,000 jobs worldwide, with 2,850 in Germany, primarily within the Digital Industries (automation) division. An additional 450 jobs affected in the EV charging business. There is strong evidence linking these cuts to AI adoption, with company leadership referencing automation and efficiency gains in public statements. Of the 6,000 total positions affected, our methodology estimates that approximately 4,500 roles (75%) are attributable to AI-driven changes. This is part of a broader pattern in Manufacturing/Technology where companies are restructuring operations around AI capabilities while reducing headcount in functions susceptible to automation.
