(Reuters) -Australia's WiseTech Global confirmed on Wednesday it was cutting some roles as part of a workforce review to focus on "maximizing efficiency via automation and use of artificial intelligence". The software firm did not specify the number of jobs to be impacted in an emailed response to a Reuters query.
The Australian Financial Review reported earlier in the day that the Sydney-headquartered logistics software provider has told employees it is increasing the use of AI across the business as part of a broad restructure, citing an email from WiseTech's chief of staff, Zubin Appoo.
