Pinterest<\/a> said Tuesday it plans to lay off less than 15% of its workforce and cut back on office space as the company embraces artificial intelligence<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In a securities filing<\/a>, Pinterest said it expects the cuts will be complete by the end of its third quarter in late September. Shares of Pinterest slipped about 3% premarket.<\/p>\n

The social media company said it’s “reallocating resources” to AI-focused teams and prioritizing “AI-powered products and capabilities.” It said it’s also reshaping its sales and marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

Pinterest has looked to inject AI throughout its platform to show more personalized and relevant content to users. The company last October released a “Pinterest Assistant”<\/a> shopping tool. <\/p>\n

At the same time, Pinterest has rolled out more automated advertising tools for marketers as it faces increasing competition<\/a> from TikTok, Meta<\/a>‘s Facebook and Instagram. <\/p>\n

Pinterest had more than 4,500 employees globally as of last April, according to its most recent proxy filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The company said it expects to record pre-tax restructuring charges of about $35 million to $45 million. <\/p>\n
