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.

4 AI attributions · 1,515 jobs · 2026 · each with the employer’s quote and its source.
- lastminute.com AI named among the causes
“AI is fundamentally transforming the travel industry and influencing both customers' search and booking behavior and the way companies are organized. (bluewin.ch (Swisscom news))”
- Lightricks AI named among the causes
“the AI modeling activity requires a different kind of talent, AI experts who have actually built models (CTech (Calcalist))”
- LSports AI named among the causes
“We write 95% of the code with AI, and we already have agents solving bugs and handling technical support (Geektime)”
- Livspace AI named as the cause
“the workforce reduction was part of a measured, phased transition as the company integrates AI agents and automation across core functions, including sales, design, operations and marketing”
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.
