"The affected employees were data scientists, it said."
Yeah, seems likely. The methods they used for the voice assistant are probably no longer relevant so the data science parts of voice assistant probably gets reduced.
However this part is strange:
"The document also noted that some of the affected employees had been transferred from the Bard team to the Assistant team last Friday and received an invite to a meeting about their role just hours later."
Were they already pushed away from the Bard team? Or maybe that is why they ended these roles, to force them to go back to Bard?
