AI-attributed job cuts

May 13, 2026: 30 jobs. CEO Robert Vis, note to employees: "The second is AI. It has changed how we work, and tasks that required dedicated headcount even a few years ago no longer do." The first stated driver was geography (moving teams closer to US customers). About 20% of headcount, mostly in Europe; Bird gave no number.
