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.

- Itaipú Binacional AI named as the cause
“supuestas inconsistencias en la divulgación, la verificación documental y los criterios de selección”
- Dukaan AI named as the cause
“We had to layoff 90% of our support team because of this AI chatbot”
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.
