Companies tried using AI to cut costs. Now they're paying humans to fix its errors
When artificial intelligence became the biggest buzzword in tech, companies hoped it would help them slash headcount and save money. Instead, companies that rushed to replace staff with AI are now rehiring humans to fix its mistakes – and spending a fortune in the process. How using AI to cut costs has backfired for some companies (iStock) According to a BBC report, there is a burgeoning industry for software engineers and writers who are being hired to fix the mistakes made by AI. The trouble with AI Take the example of Sarah Skidd. When a content agency reached out to Sarah Skidd in May, they were in a bind. The website copy they had commissioned from a generative AI tool for a hospitality client wasn't up to the mark — and they needed it rewritten urgently. "It was the kind of copy that you typically see in AI copy – just very basic; it wasn't interesting," Skidd explained. "It was supposed to sell and intrigue but instead it was very vanilla." Skidd, a product marketing manager in Arizona who writes for tech and start-up companies, took 20 hours to rewrite the copy from scratch. At her usual rate of $100 an hour, the agency ended up paying $2,000. Skidd isn't worried about AI replacing her. In fact, it's giving her more business. "Maybe I'm being naive, but I think if you are very good, you won't have trouble," she told BBC. The rise of AI She's not alone. Many writers she knows are now being hired not to create new content, but to fix the errors AI-generated text leaves behind. Over the past few years, AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini have become popular in business circles, seen as ways to streamline workflows and cut down costs. A recent survey by the UK's Federation of Small Businesses found that 35% of small firms plan to expand their AI use within two years. But Skidd's experience, and those of others like her, suggests that there may still be a long way to go before AI can match up to human standards. Sophie Warner, co-owner of Hampshire-based digital marketing agency Create Designs, says that in the last six to eight months, there has been an increase in the number of clients who want to fix the mess created by AI. "Before clients would message us if they were having issues with their site or wanted to introduce new functionality," Warner told BBC. "Now they are going to ChatGPT first." But adding code generated by ChatGPT has made some websites prone to crashing and vulnerable to attacks. In one case, a client asked ChatGPT how to update their event page – something Warner says would have taken just 15 minutes manually. But instead, the AI-generated code caused their website to crash, costing the business three days of downtime and about £360 in recovery costs. "We often have to charge an investigation fee to find out what has gone wrong, as they don't want to admit it, and the process of correcting these mistakes takes much longer than if professionals had been consulted from the beginning," said Warner.

Foxconn second quarter revenue rises 15.82% on year
Taiwan's Foxconn , the world's largest contract electronics maker, reported record second-quarter revenue on strong demand for artificial intelligence products but cautioned about geopolitical and exchange rate headwinds. Revenue for Apple 's biggest iPhone assembler jumped 15.82% year-on-year to T$1.797 trillion, Foxconn said in a statement on Saturday, beating the T$1.7896 trillion LSEG SmartEstimate, which gives greater weight to forecasts from analysts who are more consistently accurate. Robust AI demand led to strong revenue growth for its cloud and networking products division, said Foxconn, whose customers include AI chip firm Nvidia. Smart consumer electronics, which includes iPhones, posted 'flattish' year-on-year revenue growth affected by exchange rates, it said. June revenue roses 10.09% on year to T$540.237 billion, a record high for that month. Foxconn said it anticipates growth in this quarter from the previous three months and from the same period last year but cautioned about potential risks to growth. "The impact of evolving global political and economic conditions and exchange rate changes will need continued close monitoring," it said without elaborating. U.S. President Donald Trump said he had signed letters to 12 countries outlining the various tariff levels they would face on goods they export to the United States, with the "take it or leave it" offers to be sent out on Monday. The Chinese city of Zhengzhou is home to the world's largest iPhone manufacturing facility, operated by Foxconn. The company, formally called Hon Hai Precision Industry, does not provide numerical forecasts. It will report full second quarter earnings on August 14. Foxconn's shares jumped 76% last year, far outperforming the 28.5% rise for the Taiwan market, but are down 12.5% so far this year, reflecting broader pressure on tech stocks rattled by Trump's tumultuous trade policy. The stock closed down 1.83% on Friday ahead of the revenue data release, compared with a 0.73% drop for the benchmark index.

GitHub CEO allays job loss fears over AI, says 'smartest' companies to hire more software engineers, not fewer
As the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is creating a state of panic among professionals, it is often believed that advancement in AI will lead to fewer jobs in the near future. Contrary to that notion, the GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke believes that the companies that best take advantage of AI won't be using it to replace human labour. Instead, they will increase their hiring of increasingly efficient engineers. "The companies that are the smartest are going to hire more developers," Dohmke said on an episode of "The Silicon Valley Girl Podcast". The developer platform CEO's core argument is that AI acts as a multiplier for developers. 'If you 10x a single developer, then 10 developers can do 100x." This means that with AI tools, engineers become significantly more efficient, allowing a smaller team to achieve more. AI tools will also make it much easier to learn how to program and simplify the process for those who are already professionals. 'As the technology evolves, so will the capabilities of engineers,' he added. He mentioned a positive aspect of AI, citing the hurdle of learning coding, especially when you're stuck somewhere, and you have nobody at home or in your family or friends that can help you with that because they're all nontechnical." "So, when we're saying AI is democratising access, that's what we mean. Everyone who wants to learn it can learn it." However, he cautioned against the misconception that AI will eliminate the need for professionals. Though people may be better equipped to leverage coding for personal ends, in the business sphere, a deeper knowledge of the craft will still be required to best utilise AI, the GitHub CEO said. "I think the idea that AI without any coding skills lets you just build a billion-dollar business is mistaken," he said. "Because if that would be the case, everyone would do it." While some companies, particularly in the tech industry are currently pausing hiring or conducting layoffs while integrating AI, Dohmke views it as a 'temporary effect'. 'This is the natural conclusion for the short term, we keep things stable and we're trying to figure out how the market develops," Dohmke said. 'But very quickly, I think we're going to see people that say, 'Well, wait a second, if I have one more productive developer, why wouldn't I hire another one, and another one?' Dohmke emphasised that there isn't a single company that has completely eliminated developer workloads, even as programmers use AI to move through projects quickly. "AI has already added more work to the backlogs. I haven't seen companies saying, 'Well, we're draining all our backlog and we have almost nothing left,'" he said. The CEO also said that it's the "most exciting time" to be a developer. AI is transforming the programming process for the better. "The dream of software development was always that I can take the idea that I have in my head on a Sunday morning, and by the evening, I have the app up and running on my phone," he said.
