AI Layoffs

Answers 'how many jobs has AI replaced (or cost) this year?' with the register's published count: roles disclosed in layoffs linked to AI, roles where the employer itself named AI, the evidence-weighted headline figure, and the independent Challenger, Gray & Christmas count of US cuts attributed to AI. Each figure carries its scope (worldwide or US), its period and its definition, plus the ready-made answer sentence. The totals are computed over the whole register, so they are the published figures, not a sum of search results. Takes no arguments.

Current reading of the AI Layoffs Index, a 0-100 score of AI-attributed job-loss pressure scaled against AI's own history since 2023 (not a share of all jobs). Returns the value, its band, the uncertainty range, the change vs last month, the three weighted components with what each reads, the as-of date, and a ready-made citation string. Takes no arguments.

Did a specific company cut jobs because of AI? Returns the register's verdict for that company (explicit, mixed or blamed: the strongest grade among its cuts), its answer (the strongest position its own words hold: declared, cited, conflicting, attrition, denied, not-named, or statement for a workforce statement with no cut), a plain-language summary, the roles it disclosed vs the roles counted as AI-attributed, and every recorded event with the employer's own words and source. It also lists the company's later cuts that the register checked and left out because neither the employer nor credible press linked them to AI (later_cuts_not_ai_linked, never counted), so a question about the newest layoff is answered either way. Accepts a company name such as 'Klarna' or 'Salesforce'. If the company is not in the register, says so and what that does and does not mean; for a notable layoff the register checked and found not linked to AI, it returns that answer with the employer's own reason and source.

Search the source-cited register of layoffs linked to AI (one row per event, 2023 to date). Filter by company, free text, attribution, evidence tier, execution status, country, sector, affected role and date range; call with no arguments for the most recent events. Each event returns the employer's own stated reason (claim), roles counted vs reported but not counted, execution status, and a link to its source and its ailayoffs.org company page; set full_context for each event's longer context paragraph.
