About JobGoneToAI

Our Mission

JobGoneToAI is a data-driven news and research platform that tracks AI-driven job displacement in real time. We built this site because the conversation about AI and work is often vague and anecdotal. Policymakers, workers, and employers need accurate, verifiable data to make informed decisions. Our goal is to be the definitive source for that data — every confirmed layoff, every company, every number.

What We Track

We aggregate layoff events, restructurings, and hiring freezes that are explicitly or credibly linked to AI adoption. Each event in our tracker is verified against company announcements, SEC filings, earnings calls, or reports from major publications including TechCrunch, CNBC, BBC, and The Verge. We classify AI attribution as direct (AI explicitly cited), partial (AI is one of several factors), or implied (inferred from context). We do not count speculative or unconfirmed reports.

Data Methodology

Our data pipeline runs daily. Articles from configured sources are fetched, processed with AI assistance for summarization and categorization, and then manually or programmatically matched to layoff events. We link each event to at least one source article so you can verify the numbers yourself. Our Job Risk Index scores roles 0–100 using six pillars:

  • AI Capability Mapping — Which tasks current AI systems can perform today
  • Labor Market Signals — Job posting volume, wage trends, time-to-fill
  • Displacement Event Tracking — Confirmed AI-attributed layoffs from our tracker
  • Human Advantage Assessment — Physical presence, empathy, creative judgment requirements
  • Task Decomposition — Percentage of role time on automatable vs. complex tasks
  • Trend & Momentum — Speed of AI adoption in each domain

For full methodology details, see our Job Risk Index page.

Content Curation

We do not republish full articles. Instead, we curate headlines and summaries from trusted sources, add our own AI-generated key takeaways and sentiment analysis, and link to the original publication. This approach ensures we add value through aggregation and analysis while respecting copyright and driving traffic to original reporters.
