Sword dispenses more than 50 people to replace work with AI

Sword Health, a health tech unicorn, has laid off over 50 employees in recent months, citing AI as the reason for job replacements. The company, which has seen its workforce grow from 1200 to 1600 globally, has also not renewed contracts for trainees, leading to claims of high turnover and unexpected dismissals. Former employees report that while the company is actively hiring, many roles previously held by staff have been automated. Concerns about the company's HR policies have surfaced on social media, with accusations of unjustified layoffs and hiring freezes. The situation has raised questions about the company's commitment to its workforce amidst its expansion efforts.
