AI-driven restructuring: cutting 7,800 jobs by 2030 (>15% of corporate function roles including HR, corporate affairs, supply chain). CEO Bill Winters: 'It's not cost-cutting. It's replacing in some cases lower-value human capital with the financial capital and the investment capital we're putting in.'
