The figures come from data collected by The Alliance for Secure AI, a nonprofit organization that raises public awareness of the implications of AI. Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the alliance, called on politicians to step up and take action against this replacement strategy.
More than 90,000 jobs have been replaced by AI
As artificial intelligence (AI) advances, more and more jobs become redundant and are replaced by these systems.
According to figures compiled by The Alliance for Secure AI, a nonprofit that seeks to raise awareness about the effects of AI, AI-related layoffs have reached 90,450 since 2025, as companies begin to rely on agents to perform more tasks.
The data, which includes layoff announcements from Atlassian, Amazon, Morgan Stanley, Crypto.com and Block, follows reports “in which AI is either explicitly cited or credibly blamed as a significant factor,” with a reporting window that began on January 1, 2025.
While some reports explicitly blame layoffs on AI, the institution also adds statements that include AI as one of several reasons for these layoffs in its figures.
Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the Alliance for Secure AI, said the data, part of a dashboard launched by the institution, serves as a warning to all and a call to action to preserve these jobs in an era of imminent AI replacement.
Steinhauser stressed the need to tackle this problem, explaining that politicians are not aware of this reality.
He declared:
“Politicians aren’t thinking as seriously as they should about how AI will shrink our nation’s workforce. Jobs, both blue-collar and white-collar, are being replaced by AI before our eyes.”
“We do not yet have solutions to ensure that Americans can continue to provide for their families in the age of advanced AI,” Steinhauser concluded.
This is why these figures are expected to increase in the short term. Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei has warned of a coming bloodbath in the world of work, with AI eliminating half of all white-collar jobs in the next five years.
An MIT study released in November found that more than 11% of the U.S. labor market could be replaced by AI, wiping out more than $1 trillion in wages across white-collar industries including finance, healthcare and professional services.
