Cloudflare to cut over 1,100 jobs amid AI-driven restructuring

Published by Webster

US-based connectivity cloud company Cloudflare has announced plans to eliminate more than 1,100 jobs globally as part of a major organisational restructuring linked to the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) within the company’s operations, reported IANS. According to an internal memo circulated to employees, the US-based connectivity cloud company said the restructuring is aimed at adapting to what it described as the emerging “agentic AI era,” where AI systems increasingly perform tasks traditionally handled by employees across departments, reported IANS. The company clarified that the move is not being implemented as a conventional cost-cutting exercise or a performance-based layoff programme, but rather as part of a broader operational transformation focused on AI-driven workflows. Internal Use Of AI Reportedly Increased By Over 600 Per Cent Cloudflare stated in the memo that its internal adoption of AI tools and AI agents has surged by more than 600 per cent during the past three months.

New Delhi: Delhi education minister Ashish Sood has said that the Delhi government is working on developing an education model in which every child will have access to AI-driven education and tech-enabled infrastructure to foster innovation. Delhi education minister Ashish Sood at the HT Future Ed Conclave 2025. (HT Photo) Speaking at the HT Future-Ed Conclave, Sood said Delhi will have a model in which students are not “failed”, but their suitability and skills are unearthed to help find them what’s best suited for them. Criticizing the AAP model of education, the minister said it was riddled with half baked classroom upgrades, non functional ICT labs, a few hundred smart boards procured by CSR. Sharing the BJP government’s vision, he said the government is aiming at a model where education is tech driven, AI support reduces workload on teachers, programmes like ‘Neev’ for improvement of skills and students have a wide canvas to think. “We need a model where students don’t get branded as failed. They may have a knack for something else, other skills …

Meta is ramping up its AI-driven age detection

Meta is ramping up its AI-driven age detection

Published by Webster

Meta is expanding how it uses AI to detect teens on Instagram — and, in some cases, will begin overriding account settings. Instagram announced it was using AI for age detection in 2024; the system looked for signals that users were under 18 years old, like if messages from friends say “happy 16th birthday,” for example (Meta also says it uses engagement data — people in the same age group often interact with content they see in similar ways). Teen accounts on Instagram are subject to more restrictive settings: by default, teen accounts are private, strangers aren’t able to send them messages, and Instagram limits what kind of content teens see. Last year, Instagram changed the settings for all teens on the platform so that safety features were automatically enabled. The company now says it will use AI to proactively look for teen accounts that have an adult birthday, and change settings for users it suspects are kids. In a blog post, Instagram says it will begin testing the feature today in the US. If …
