The ByteDance-owned app has not provided the exact number of employees laid off, but the job cut is estimated to affect around 500 people. A spokesperson from TikTok has also stated that these layoffs were part of TikTok’s efforts to strengthen and grow its worldwide operating model for content moderation. The company has thus confirmed that the tech layoffs have to do with the company’s moving forward with AI.

TikTok is known to utilize both human moderators and AI to moderate content posted on its platform. However, with the TikTok layoffs taking place right now, the company might seek to obtain a completely automated future, or at least a majorly automated future. The social media giant has stated that it plans to invest around $2 billion in safety and trust in the current year. This investment will work towards improving the platform’s efficiency in removing the content that goes against TikTok’s guidelines. The video-sharing platform has also predicted for itself that automated technology would remove up to 80% of the unapproved content.

TikTok Layoffs: The platform’s past layoffs

This is not the first time in 2024, that TikTok laid off its employees. In April alone, the company let go of over 250 workers in Ireland. In January, TikTok laid off around 60 employees in advertising and sales. However, the biggest TikTok layoffs may be yet to come. Reports were circulating in May that the company was planning on laying off over 1,000 employees. These workers expected to be laid off worked in the marketing and operations division of the company.

This startup is aimed at helping people with humid weather with its air conditioner. Transaera is not a typical air conditioner, it utilises its technology which decreases the levels of humidity. This is done while still reducing the energy that is required for this process.

Transaera and more on this startup

Transaera’s prosperity technology can be implemented into any kind of air conditioning system. The DOAS (dedicated outdoor air system) dehumidifies the air and decreases the amount of load. The ‘leftover’ air then touches evaporator coils, consequently cooling the air while also trying to accurately match the building’s temperature.

Usually, air conditioners and humidifiers produce heat during the humidity removal state of the air. Transaera utilises this air and uses it to remove moisture from its material that sits properly on a porous wheel. During the winter, the DOAS system can revert to preserving the humidity indoors. The startup has stated that it uses less than 40% less energy as compared to higher-end DOASs.

The company was started in 2017 by co-founders, Sorin Grama, Mircea Dinca and Ross Bonner. It is currently going through a funding round of $6 million. Overall, the startup has raised over $7.5 million and part of this funding includes the $4.5 million seed round.
