Where
Norway
Headcount
About 400 full-time equivalents in Technology & Services, per DNB stock-exchange release.
Roles
Technology & Services: customer-data controls / KYC, technology development and coding work
Stated reason
DNB release: agentic AI and automation will take over manual and routine tasks in these areas.
AI mechanism
AI said to do the work
Why B
An official release links the cuts to agentic AI and names the task areas, which are high-exposure. It stops short of A because it names no specific system.
