SAP 凍結招聘和差旅以資助其 AI 未來
sap 暫停了大部分招聘和差旅以將資金轉移到飆升的 ai 成本上,這標誌著企業開始優先考慮 ai 投資,而非傳統的營運支出。
sap halted global hiring and travel last month to absorb rising costs from ai tool deployment, restricting exceptions to ai-specific roles and development. an internal email cited increasing token usage as the driver, mandating discipline to redirect funds toward the company's 'all in on ai' strategy. this mirrors actions by firms like microsoft and adobe, which are capping ai use as token expenditures spiral. the freeze indicates that for major software vendors, funding the ai transition now requires aggressive cuts to legacy operational expenses.
