Dow Chemical reduces workforce with AI

Dow Chemical has announced a plan to cut 4,500 jobs, equivalent to approximately 12.5% of its global workforce. The primary reason behind this decision is the implementation of automation systems based on artificial intelligence.

The company, active in the chemical sector for 129 years, has chosen to use AI software from C3, a company competing with Palantir, to optimize processes and increase efficiency. This intervention, although strategic for the future of the company, will have a significant impact on employment.

For those evaluating on-premise deployments, there are trade-offs to consider carefully. AI-RADAR offers analytical frameworks on /llm-onpremise to evaluate these aspects.
