Robinhood’s note on 10% layoffs shows blaming AI isn’t cutting it

Robinhood's CEO Vlad Tenev announced 10% layoffs without citing the need to restructure for artificial intelligence, unlike many of his tech industry peers. Tenev's approach differs from others who have used AI as a reason for cutting thousands of jobs. His note about the layoffs did not mention AI, setting him apart from other tech industry leaders. The decision suggests that blaming AI for job cuts may not be a convincing explanation for all companies.
