AI Adoption Spurs Job Growth in Tech Firms
TechCrunch AIhigh confidence
Why it matters
- →AI investment can lead to job growth, not just job loss.
- →Tech-forward firms benefit most from AI, expanding their workforce.
- →A divide may grow between firms with and without resources for AI adoption.
A recent report from Ramp and Revelio Labs reveals that companies investing heavily in AI are experiencing job growth, contradicting fears of widespread job losses due to AI. These firms, termed 'high-intensity adopters,' have increased their workforce by 10.2%, particularly in tech sectors. The report suggests that AI can drive firm expansion by lowering production costs, especially in software and technology firms. However, the benefits are not evenly distributed, as companies without sustained AI investments do not see similar gains, indicating a potential widening gap between resource-rich firms and others.

Crusoe cancels $1.25B Boom turbine deal
The collapse of Crusoe’s $1.25 billion order for Boom Supersonic’s stationary turbines exposes the fragility of AI infrastructure financing. While Crusoe raised $3.9 billion, it pivoted away from on-site gas generation, opting instead for grid power and diverse energy mixes. This signals that even well-funded data center operators are prioritizing flexibility over massive, long-term capital commitments to specialized hardware. Boom’s pivot to sell jet engines as power plants was a bold bet on AI energy needs, but losing its anchor customer suggests the market is more cautious than anticipated.
