⚡ Breaking - CBA axes contractor call centre jobs after AI rollout

📰 BREAKING

CBA just cut contractor call centre roles following AI deployment. Real production scale, real workforce decisions.

This matters because it shows what happens after the pilots end. The bank moved past proof-of-concept into live operations where agent performance meets labor cost reality. That creates a governance surface most enterprises haven't mapped: who owns workforce architecture when AI agents handle 60% of customer interactions? How do you measure agent reliability before shifting headcount? What compliance obligations apply when you replace human judgment with model outputs in regulated customer conversations?

At QikAI, we see CTOs and Heads of Operations wrestling with these exact questions. They've run the pilots. Now they need operational frameworks that account for agent failure modes, audit trails, and staff transition plans before they deploy at scale.

The gap between pilot theater and production readiness shows up in workforce planning first.
