Robinhood CEO avoids AI mention in 10% layoff announcement

This move aligns with a broader trend where companies like Amazon, Block, and Coinbase are emphasizing leaner operations and flatter structures, potentially due to increased productivity from AI tools and a need to manage expenses associated with AI usage. Despite these cuts, many of these companies, including Robinhood, are reporting strong financial performance. AI
