Caption: Microsoft to Cut 9,000 Jobs as AI Investments Take Priority. Microsoft has confirmed plans to lay off up to 9,000 employees in its latest round of job cuts this year. The move affects about 4% of the company's global workforce, though specific departments were not disclosed. Reports suggest the Xbox gaming division could be among those hit hardest. The tech giant says the layoffs are part of ongoing organizational changes aimed at keeping the company competitive in a fast-changing market. This is Microsoft's fourth wave of cuts in 2025, following 6,000 layoffs in May. At the same time, Microsoft is pouring $80 billion into AI development, building massive data centers and hiring top talent to lead its AI push—including UK AI pioneer Mustafa Suleyman. While Microsoft backs OpenAI, tensions have emerged, and it's reportedly struggled to sell its Copilot AI tool to businesses, who prefer ChatGPT. The cuts reflect a wider tech industry trend of trimming staff while investing big in artificial intelligence. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
