Killed by AI (killedbyai.net), CC BY 4.0. Layoffs where the company, its CEO or a filing blamed AI or automation, by announcement month, worldwide. Hand-curated: it counts what gets reported, not every layoff, and past months change as entries are added.
Not every layoff that AI may have caused, only the ones where the company said so: in a statement, a CEO memo or a regulatory filing. One large announcement can make a month, so read the bars for when companies started naming AI and how often.
