2026年科技公司AI裁员名单：Microsoft、Oracle、GitLab等十家公司裁减数千岗位

TechCrunch compiled a running list of major tech companies that cited AI as a factor in 2026 layoffs. Microsoft just cut about 4,800 roles, or 2.1% of its global workforce, saying the jobs are 'not being replaced by AI' but acknowledging AI is changing how work gets done. May was the worst month for tech layoffs in years, with AI as the most-cited reason. Roughly 120,000 tech roles have been cut so far in 2026. The list covers ten companies including Microsoft, Oracle, and GitLab, with specific headcounts and official statements for each.

Why it matters: TechCrunch's running list of 2026 layoffs citing AI, with Microsoft cutting 4,800 roles and 10 companies named. Solid data and direct narrative, but it's a roundup rather than breaking news, so capped at 78.
