Snap Inc. announced plans to cut about 1,000 jobs, roughly 16% of its workforce, and close over 300 open roles to streamline operations using artificial intelligence. CEO Evan Spiegel expressed regret but emphasized AI's role in reducing repetitive tasks and improving performance across Snapchat's services. The move follows pressure from activist investor Irenic Capital Management to optimize the business and aims to save over $500 million by late 2024, helping Snap move toward profitability. Despite the layoffs, Snap shares rose 7% but remain down 26% year-to-date, with quarterly earnings due May 6.
