За даними дослідження консалтингової фірми Challenger, Gray & Christmas, штучний інтелект став причиною майже 55 000 звільнень лише у США у 2025 році. В цьому році роботу втратила найбільша кількість людей з часів пандемії COVID-19.
According to a study by consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, artificial intelligence will cause nearly 55,000 layoffs in the US alone by 2025. This year, the largest number of people lost their jobs since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mashablereports that 1.17 million jobs were cut in the U.S. at the time. In November 2025, 71,000 jobs were cut, of which 6,000, or about 9%, were AI-related.
While AI-related layoffs have affected workers of all ages and occupations at companies like Amazon and Walmart, AI has also led to a hiring slump that has hit entry-level workers particularly hard.
«The rise in youth unemployment may actually be a symptom of the rise of artificial intelligence. It’s not even that artificial intelligence is doing the work for these people, it’s that companies are unsure of the direction of development and want to maintain the option,» said Stephanie Roth, chief economist at Wolfe Research.
It was previously reported that even students from prestigious universities such as Stanford are having difficulty finding jobs as Junior Software Engineers, as companies are currently short of «two programmers and an LLM.»
