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.

2 AI attributions · 1,700 jobs · all-time · each with the employer’s quote and its source.
- Klarna AI named among the causes
“Siemiatkowski said he has seen the speed at which AI is improving and believes these technologies can be integrated into the company without expanding the head count”
- Klarna AI named among the causes
“It is doing the equivalent work of 700 full-time agents." (Klarna, on its OpenAI-powered AI assistant)”
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.
