Is FM Global in the AI layoffs register?

No. The register records job cuts that the employer linked to AI, or that a credible outlet or a named analyst linked to AI. FM Global's cut was checked against that rule and left out, so it is not counted in the index or in any of the register's figures.

Not linked to AI

FM (formerly FM Global) told some staff whose jobs support its Johnston, Rhode Island headquarters that the move of its global headquarters to downtown Providence could cost them their positions, and said it expects a limited number of roles to go; it gave no number. Johnston's mayor said an employee told him she and a few colleagues had received layoff notices.

Why FM Global is not in the register

This site keeps a register of job cuts linked to AI: a cut enters it when the employer names AI or automation as a reason, or when a credible outlet or a named analyst links it to AI, and each entry is graded on what the employer itself said. FM Global's cut was read against that rule and left out. It is shown here because people searching for FM Global's layoffs ask whether AI was behind them, and are counted nowhere on this site. How the register decides.
