Vaziri, Aidin. “Chegg Cuts 45% of Staff as AI Reshapes Online Education.” Sfchronicle, 28 Oct. 2025, www.sfchronicle.com/tech/article/chegg-layoffs-ai-bay-area-21124921.php.
The article goes into talking about how Chegg, a website used to assist students with homework and textbook rentals, is struggling to gain motion again due to the rising usage of AI. “”“The new realities of AI and reduced traffic from Google to content publishers have led to a significant decline in Chegg’s traffic and revenue,” the company said in a statement” (Vaziri 3). The company blames AI for the declining revenue. To deal with the loss, the article speaks about how “Chegg plans to pivot toward the “skilling” market — offering programs in workplace readiness, language learning and AI-related skills — as it seeks to offset losses in its student services division” (Vaziri 12).
