Danske Bank to Cut Jobs as It Expands Use of AI
Danske Bank is preparing for further job reductions over the next few years due to its increasing reliance on artificial intelligence and digital tools. According to a report by Bloomberg, citing technology and services head Frans Woelders, AI will impact all areas of the bank's operations rather than being limited to specific departments. The bank plans to deploy individual AI agents for staff before year-end as part of this transformation. Danske is also modernizing its IT infrastructure with Amazon Web Services by migrating legacy applications and has already seen a 40% productivity boost among developers using AI tools, expecting that figure to double by the end of 2028. While some roles will be eliminated due to automation, Woelders noted new positions may emerge in technology services where staffing is expected to remain stable.
