Companies That Spend the Most on AI Are Also Hiring the Most, Not Firing

The Financial Times reports that corporations pouring the most money into AI are growing their headcount faster than competitors who spend less — the opposite of the layoff narrative that has dominated coverage of the technology for two years.
The data complicates the simple replace-workers-with-AI story: at least for now, companies appear to be using the technology to expand what they do rather than shrink who does it. New products, new markets, and new internal capabilities all require people to build and run them, AI assistance or not.
The open question is durability. Is this a genuine shift in how AI gets deployed inside large organizations, or a gold-rush hiring binge that reverses the moment growth budgets tighten? The FT's numbers describe where companies stand today, not where they'll stand in 2027.
