AskTheRecruiter · AI Layoff Tracker
AI layoffs, in the employer’s own words
Every layoff we attribute to AI carries the company’s own statement, quoted verbatim, with a link to where they said it. This is the receipt behind the AI number: not inference, not press framing, the employer’s words. Filter it, quote it, check it.

5 AI attributions · 1,226 jobs · 2025 · each with the employer’s quote and its source.
- Chegg AI named as the cause
“the new realities of AI and its impact on traffic”
- Commonwealth Bank AI named as the cause
“describing its decision to axe 45 roles due to artificial intelligence”
- Chegg AI named as the cause
“Google and their expansion of AI Overviews continues to keep web traffic captive in the Google search experience and migrate search to Gemini”
- CrowdStrike AI named among the causes
“AI has always been foundational to how we operate. AI flattens our hiring curve, and helps us innovate from idea to product faster”
- Commonwealth Bank AI named as the cause
“it won’t hire more people unless the job cannot be done by artificial intelligence”
How these are chosen: a cut appears here only when the employer named AI or automation as a cause in words we can quote, confirmed by two independent passes, with the source on file. Investment in AI, a future projection, or AI used to pick who goes does not qualify. This is the strict, quotable standard; the tracker also has a broader AI-linked measure, labelled separately.
