It is a recurring theme, isn’t it? Many in business choose profit over people. I was once under the illusion that it was the other way around but time teaches a different lesson:

Most commercial Organisations, when faced with the ability to strip out core cost – operating costs – not the kinds of cool and exciting costs of innovation and creativity, but the kind of cost that cleans the floors or administers HR process, will jump at the chance.

I simply cannot imagine any Organisation that will seriously argue that they must retain headcount, increase cost, simply to ‘do good’. Or ‘be more human’...if I have the opportunity to save money, or increase utility, using AI, I will do so without hesitation (source)
