It’s normal to have more layoffs, many ML jobs aren’t essential. We’re still hiring but most people we’re interviewing have been recently laid from somewhere so the market has definitely been impacted.

This is the correct reply. Unfortunately when things get tough, you need to get close to revenue. AI and data science roles are typically not that, especially speaking from personal experience. Same goes for things like cyber security or even managerial (you only need so many managers). The best skills you can have right now are applied SWE skills IMO.

Ads ranking and recommender systems seem safe bets for being close to the revenue.

Yes, you are right, recommender systems may be the exception.

If a big company which main business is not ML related, but use ML to reduce costs and improve. will probably don’t reduce the budget. In my opinion all sectors will be affected but IT will remain stable almost our corporations an new startups invested a lot and what they are looking is to estabilize and improve their numbers.

but isnt most IT only 'value adding' and therefore not essential? i mean you only need ops to keep the lights on, right?

IT is pretty essential to the operation of any company. Things like workstations, printers, office networking, email, and application servers.
