Dozens of journalists have been sacked after Microsoft decided to replace them with artificial intelligence software.
Staff who maintain the news homepages on Microsoft’s MSN website and its Edge browser – used by millions of Britons every day – have been told that they will be no longer be required because robots can now do their jobs.
Around 27 individuals employed by PA Media – formerly the Press Association – were told on Thursday that they would lose their jobs in a month’s time after Microsoft decided to stop employing humans to select, edit and curate news articles on its homepages.

Microsoft Edge is malware, says angry Windows 7 user
Microsoft has shown old-fashioned aggression in trying to get Windows 10 users to adopt its new browser. Now, even Windows 7 users are finding it a little much
When Microsoft shows enthusiasm for something, it can occasionally come across as a touch gauche.
Such has been the case with its enthusiasm -- nay, insistence -- that Windows users should try its new Edge browser.
Some Windows 10 users have complained that Microsoft is stealing their Chrome data in order to entice them to live in the Edge.
But then there are those Windows users who are thoroughly annoyed by how Edge is attaching itself to their everyday lives and refusing to leave.

Microsoft tells Windows 10 users they can never uninstall Edge. Wait, what?
The new Edge is a very good browser. It's like Chrome --only better. But Microsoft has managed to annoy Windows 10 users by making Edge very difficult to ignore.
In the annals of brilliant sales techniques, Microsoft doesn't always get good reviews.
Even when it has a fine product to sell.
Over the last few weeks, I've been banging my head against several floorboards as I've listened to readers complaining about what they see as Microsoft's sneaky maneuvers. Specifically, concerning the new Edge browser.
This is a very good browser. It's like Chrome -- Redmond based it on the Chromium platform, after all -- but it's better.
Microsoft has, however, been annoying Windows 10 users by making it very difficult to ignore -- or even eliminate -- Edge. Some believe Edge is stealing their Chrome data.

Developers, it’s time for you to choose a side - Clean up the web!
Will you help rid the web of privacy-invading tracking or be complicit in it?
🚮 Remove third-party scripts from Google, Facebook, etc.
This includes Google Analytics (one of the most prevalent trackers in the world), YouTube videos, Facebook login widgets, etc.
These scripts enable people farmers like Google and Facebook to track people across the web as they go from site to site. If you embed them in your site, you’re complicit in enabling this tracking.
And yes, that absolutely includes fucking Google AMP.
