One Zero Bank announced on Sunday that it will dismiss approximately 10% of its workforce, citing the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on the job market. Employees affected by the layoffs have already been summoned for discussions, while the rest of the staff have been informed they are not expected to be impacted by these specific cuts.
In an internal letter to employees, Bank CEO Eyal Gafni explained that the accelerated adoption of AI tools necessitates changes in the bank's operational methods. He highlighted that generative AI is altering how companies manage processes, deliver services, and develop new solutions. Gafni stated that the bank's digital infrastructure, built on advanced information systems and automation, allows for rapid integration of new technologies and adjustment of staffing levels to meet evolving needs.
Gafni acknowledged the departing employees, many of whom were instrumental in the bank's establishment and growth, and pledged the bank's support during their transition period. These layoffs at One Zero follow a broader trend of workforce reductions in recent months, particularly within Israel's high-tech sector.
Companies such as monday.com and Wix have previously announced significant layoffs, with Wix also attributing some of its cuts to the AI revolution and the strengthening of the Israeli shekel. Other companies like MyHeritage and Rapyd have also implemented staff reductions.
