GM, Ford, and Stellantis have cut over 20,000 U.S. salaried jobs since 2020, driven by technological changes including AI, autonomous, and electric vehicles. GM led with about 11,000 cuts, recently laying off 500-600 IT workers to adapt to AI integration. Despite reductions, these automakers continue hiring for AI and tech roles, reflecting a shift toward software-defined vehicles. Experts warn AI will reshape many jobs, requiring workers to adapt to new skills or face displacement.
