The AI Job Clock records confirmed, publicly reported job reductions at major companies where artificial intelligence was cited as a contributing factor. We record the announcement — not a causal proof. Our unit of measurement is the stated figure from the company or a credible secondary source.

Each entry is rated on editorial confidence:

• Confirmed — The company or a named senior executive explicitly cited AI, automation, or AI agents as a direct reason for the workforce reduction.
• Strong — The company announced significant AI investment and workforce cuts in the same period. No explicit causal link stated, but the connection is publicly reported.
• Likely — AI deployment at the company preceded the reduction. No direct statement from the company linking the two. Most editorially subjective.

All entries are derived from public records: press releases, earnings call transcripts, CEO memos, WARN Act filings, regulatory disclosures, and credible journalism. Each entry links to its primary source. Data is verified at time of entry and reviewed periodically. Seed data is reviewed and updated monthly. Live news is refreshed every 15 minutes from Google News RSS.
