AI Job Loss Tracker

The “explicit” tag on some of these should really be “self reported”. It seems like most companies these days mismanage themselves into layoffs and spin it as AI gains to appease shareholders instead.

This is a brochure site from "The Alliance for Secure AI", which I am unfamiliar with, but whose site gives "AGI weirdo". Am I misreading? https://secureainow.org/

This is a website created by a professional lobbyist who still has an active role taking lobbying contracts through a firm they founded called Steinhauser Strategies.

It’s really hard to know if these reports are real or marketing. Usually the company is very nonspecific about the kind of positions replaced. I tried reading a few of these articles and it was just buisness speak drivel about strategic repositioning. I have no idea what those displaced employees were doing and if their function was even replaced. There is of course some value in self reported claims but usually a careful researcher would look for other evidence that those claims are sensible.

Why are some companies listed multiple times?

Most of the numbers are BS. They're regular layoffs with AI used as a scapegoat.

How do they differentiate AI job loss from normal layoffs that companies are pretending are due to AI to get brownie points from shareholders?

AI is creating jobs, too, so this information isn’t really valuable if you want a clear image of its impact on employment.
