Uber cuts 10% of support staff, cites AI as reason for first time

This marks the company's second round of layoffs in just eight weeks, following a 23% reduction in its people division in June. Notably, Uber has for the first time explicitly cited artificial intelligence as a contributing factor behind the job cuts. The company reportedly exhausted its entire 2026 budget for Claude Code, an AI coding tool, within just four months.
