Block Cuts Workforce, Cites AI Efficiency

Block reported year-over-year profits of nearly $3 billion in its latest earnings and announced on Friday it will reduce its workforce from about 10,000 to 6,000, cutting roughly 4,000 roles. CEO Jack Dorsey said the company will rely on "intelligence tools" to increase productivity and shift product capabilities, positioning Block as a smaller, intelligence-native payments and services company.
