Țara care a anunțat că mii de funcționari publici vor fi înlocuiți de AI se confruntă cu o grevă de proporții

In New Zealand, nearly 10,000 public sector employees went on strike, protesting against job cuts linked to AI automation. The government plans to reduce 9,000 positions, aiming for budget savings and economic recovery. Workers rejected salary offers, claiming they do not meet rising living costs. Protests occurred nationwide, with union representatives emphasizing the need for better compensation. The strikes come ahead of upcoming elections, highlighting public sector staffing issues. The government argues that job cuts are necessary for a balanced budget and to fund frontline services, despite union warnings about potential service impacts. Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced reforms to integrate AI into public administration, aiming to streamline operations and reduce departments.
