Xbox leader Asha Sharma has joined a US government task force for employment, days after announcing restructuring that has left thousands of people without jobs

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who recently oversaw a restructuring that resulted in 3,200 job losses, has been appointed as an advisor to a US Federal Reserve task force on employment. She will join the Board of Governors to assess the impact of AI on the workforce and improve operational efficiency. This appointment has raised eyebrows given her role in significant layoffs at Xbox, which has seen studio closures and low morale, and her background in AI at Microsoft and Meta.
