Cisco CEO: I don't use AI to cut jobs, I just want our engineers to ...
While many of its peers in Big Tech seems to be using AI as a justification for cutting jobs, Cisco Systems claims to be taking a different approach. According to CEO Chuck Robbins, the company is not using artificial intelligence to reduce its workforce. "I don't want to get rid of a bunch of people right now," Robbins told CNBC, adding that he wants Cisco's engineers to "innovate faster and be more productive," which he believes will give the company a competitive advantage. 'I just want our engineers that we have today to innovate faster and be more productive. That gives us a competitive advantage,' Cisco CEO said. This contrasts with companies like Microsoft and Amazon, which have recently laid off thousands of employees. Microsoft alone cut about 9,000 jobs in early July. Robbins acknowledged that many of his peers anticipate hiring fewer people in the future as AI technology advances, and he didn't rule out the possibility for Cisco "down the road." What's driving Cisco's AI strategy Cisco's latest quarterly results suggest that its strategy is working. The company exceeded expectations for both earnings and revenue and provided a positive outlook. A key driver of this success is its focus on AI infrastructure. The company more than doubled its initial $1 billion AI infrastructure order target for fiscal year 2025, with more than $800 million in orders coming in during the fourth quarter alone. These orders are largely from "webscale customers"—major tech companies like Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Microsoft—that are rapidly building out their AI capabilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These 11 Everyday Foods Might Be the Key to Knee Pain Relief Undo Despite the positive news, Cisco's stock experienced a 1.5% dip on Thursday. The cause was a lackluster performance in its security segment, which missed revenue expectations. The weakness was attributed to budget cuts in the U.S. federal government, which affected Cisco's business with those agencies. The company had hoped to see more growth from its March 2024 acquisition of the cybersecurity platform Splunk, but the full benefits of that deal have been delayed. Still, the overall picture for Cisco remains strong. The company confirmed it has already secured roughly $1 billion in AI revenue from webscale customers for fiscal year 2025. Cisco, which is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, is a new addition to TheStreet's portfolio. The investment team sees the company's role in supporting its customers' AI initiatives as a significant growth driver. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Who was Jackie Bezos? Jeff Bezos's mother passes away at 78, a single mother who took night classes and worked tirelessly, also first investor in Amazon, look at her Legacy
Jacklyn Gise 'Jackie' Bezos, the mother of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, passed away at the age of 78 after her long battle with Lewy body dementia. She died peacefully at her Miami home, surrounded by loved ones. Jeff shared the news in an Instagram post, praising her love, resilience, and dedication to her family and the causes she championed. Who Was Jackie Bezos? Jackie was just 17, while still in high school, she became a single mother. To provide for her son, she took night classes and worked hard to support Jeff. In his tribute, Jeff wrote: 'She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity.' In 1968, Jackie married Miguel 'Mike' Bezos, a Cuban immigrant who adopted Jeff and helped raise him. Together, they built a nurturing home for their three children, Jeff, Christina, and Mark. Jackie's home was welcoming for friends, neighbors, and classmates. First Investor In Jeff Bezos Amazon In 1995, Jackie and Mike took a risk of investing $245,000 (Rs 2.08 crore) in Jeff's new idea of an online bookstore which later became ecommerce giant Amazon. Their backing helped Amazon during early days. Within four years, Jeff's net worth reached $9 billion, and by 2018, their investment had appreciated over 12 million percent, reportedly making them worth $30 billion. Jackie's Involvement In Bezos Family Foundation Jackie's influence was more than business. In 2000, she co-founded the Bezos Family Foundation with Mike and their children and took initiatives like: Vroom – offering practical tools to promote early childhood brain development. Bezos Scholars Program – empowering promising young leaders in the US and Africa. Through these efforts, Jackie touched countless lives, supporting educators, families, and future changemakers.
