Google is reportedly planning to lay off "several hundred" employees in its advertising sales unit as part of a restructuring effort. The tech giant aims to automate more processes through AI software, which will determine how advertisers' money should be allocated across products. The changes in the operational procedure of the sales team have led to these layoffs. Impacted employees will have the option to apply for open roles within Google. Last week, Google announced job cuts in its Google Assistant software and Devices and Services team.
