New Delhi: American tech giant Google has once again laid off hundreds of employees. These layoffs come as Google is increasing its focus on artificial intelligence (AI) to reduce costs. According to reports, the company has laid off more than 100 employees working in design-related positions in its cloud unit.

According to a CNBC report, the layoffs have hit the “Quantitative User Experience Research” and “Platform and Service Experience” teams the hardest. These teams primarily work to understand user behaviour, conduct surveys and data research, and incorporate them into product development.
