In September 2023, the company and the UK government agreed on a joint investment plan of £1.25 billion ($1.75 billion) to implement decarbonisation measures at the Port Talbot steel-making facility.

Grammarly is not alone in this, as 141 tech companies have made layoffs this year, affecting 34,250 workers.

The UK government is focused on preventing job losses at Tata Steel, as discussions are underway between the government and the company. Up to 2,800 jobs are at risk as Tata Steel plans to close two carbon-intensive blast furnaces. The government is also supporting the company's transition to lower-carbon technologies.

According to an Economics professor at Stanford University, fully remote workers are at the highest risk of being replaced by AI. Roles such as data entry, call centers, HR, and payroll that are 100% remote and repetitive are particularly vulnerable. However, it may be impractical for AI to replace in-person workers, as robots are clunky and inefficient. Hybrid workers, who work from the office a certain number of times a week, may even benefit from AI's productivity. The impact of AI on the workforce continues to be debated, with some studies suggesting significant disruption and up to 300 million jobs impacted worldwide.

Over 21,000 jobs in India's audio electronics sector are at risk due to China's restrictions on rare earth metal exports, as per ELCINA. China's export licensing on essential rare earth metals like terbium and dysprosium has disrupted global supply chains, impacting India's hearables and wearables industry. This shift has led to increased dependency on fully assembled imports from China, risking both direct and indirect jobs, particularly in regions like Noida and South India.
