巴克莱银行计划今年裁员约 5000 人（占员工总数 5%），主要削减支持部门岗位，CEO 明确指出 AI 提高了人员生产力。尽管利润增长，该行仍通过精简人力结构来巩固前期基础设施投资带来的效率红利，这一趋势在 HSBC 和渣打等竞争对手中亦有体现。

WSJ: Barclays will cut about 5,000 jobs this year, roughly 5% of staff, citing AI efficiency gains.
About 1,000 of those roles went in the first half of 2026, and the rest go before year end.
Around 60% of the cuts fall on support functions, “including fewer developers as AI makes our people more productive,” said Chief Executive C.S. Venkatakrishnan.
All these while 3rd-quarter pretax profit rose 12% to £2.3B. Among rivals, HSBC is reportedly weighing up to 20,000 role cuts over the coming years, while Standard Chartered plans to shrink corporate function roles by more than 15% by 2030.
Venkatakrishnan calls AI the icing rather than the cake, because its savings depend on infrastructure built beforehand.
