EY-Parthenon, a division of the global accounting firm EY, polled 50 Canadian business leaders from large companies for its latest Canada CEO Outlook survey. The results show some executives are eyeing smaller, more productive workforces with the help of AI.

Only 50 people were surveyed. I don’t know if that can really be representative of anything.

Anyway, 23 of them are hoping AI will let them cut staff.
