Events in the register

Strongest: Tier 1

Disclosed roles are figures the employer itself stated. Counted roles are the subset the register accepts as AI-attributed; the index then discounts each one by evidence tier, attribution and execution status, and counts only the current year, so this company's contribution to the headline is smaller than the figures shown here. How the weighting works.

Most employers that name AI give other reasons too: 212 of the 252 cuts in the register where the employer named AI. Are companies blaming AI for layoffs?
