巴克莱今年将裁员约5000人，称AI提效是原因之一
WSJ: Barclays will cut about 5,000 jobs this year, roughly 5% of staff, citing AI efficiency gains.
据 WSJ 报道，巴克莱今年将裁减约 5000 个岗位，约占员工总数的 5%，理由是 AI 带来的效率提升。其中约 1000 个岗位已在上半年裁撤，其余将在年底前完成；约 60% 的裁员落在支持职能，CEO C.S. Venkatakrishnan 称其中包括更少的开发者，因为 AI 让员工更高效。同期巴克莱第三季度税前利润增长 12% 至 23 亿英镑，汇丰据称正考虑未来数年裁减最多 2 万个岗位，渣打计划到 2030 年将企业职能岗位缩减超过 15%。Venkatakrishnan 称 AI 只是蛋糕上的糖霜而非蛋糕本身，其节省取决于此前已建成的基础设施。

WSJ: Barclays will cut about 5,000 jobs this year, roughly 5% of staff, citing AI efficiency gains.
About 1,000 of those roles went in the first half of 2026, and the rest go before year end.
Around 60% of the cuts fall on support functions, “including fewer developers as AI makes our people more productive,” said Chief Executive C.S. Venkatakrishnan.
All these while 3rd-quarter pretax profit rose 12% to £2.3B. Among rivals, HSBC is reportedly weighing up to 20,000 role cuts over the coming years, while Standard Chartered plans to shrink corporate function roles by more than 15% by 2030.
Venkatakrishnan calls AI the icing rather than the cake, because its savings depend on infrastructure built beforehand.
