The Alliance for Secure AI's jobloss.ai tracker records 136,460 U.S. job cuts across 46 companies and 18 industries since January 2025, distinguishing explicit AI attribution from mixed factors.
Details
- 136,460 U.S. jobs have been linked to AI-related workforce reductions since January 2025, according to the jobloss.ai tracker maintained by The Alliance for Secure AI.
- As of October 23, 2026, the dataset covers 53 reports across 46 companies and 18 industries.
- The tracker uses three attribution labels to avoid overstating AI's direct impact: Explicit (company cited AI/automation), Reported (journalism identified AI as primary driver), and Mixed (AI was one factor among others like restructuring or cost cuts).
- The analysis argues that equating the total number of linked jobs with jobs directly eliminated by AI is misleading, as many reductions involve concurrent organizational changes.
