According to analysts from the American consulting firm “Challenger, Gray & Christmas,” since 2023, around 192,000 jobs have been cut in the US due to the implementation and use of artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, more than 60% (120,100 jobs) of these cuts occurred from January to September 2026.
Why this matters. The job losses due to artificial intelligence are exponential in nature, multiplying year by year. In the first 9 months of 2026, AI-related job cuts accounted for 21% of the total job losses recorded in the US.
