Bybit CEO Ben: Disagrees with Many Companies Blaming Layoffs on AI Bybit CEO Ben Zhou @benbybit shared during an interview on the *When Shift Happens* channel on April 23 that many companies might just want to lay off employees and are using AI as an excuse. However, he doesn’t believe AI is yet capable of replacing a large workforce. Ben Zhou mentioned that the real challenge right now is measuring AI output: internal company large models are consuming Tokens at a rapid pace, but the actual efficiency gains are hard to quantify. In his view, AI is more like when companies first introduced Excel—it’s undoubtedly a significant change, but how much it can truly transform various departments still needs further validation.
