Creative Industries Have Been Eviscerated by AI, Data Shows
"One of the worst stretches for media employment in modern US history." The post Creative Industries Have Been Eviscerated by AI, Data Shows appeared first on Futurism .
The creative industries and media sectors in the United States have suffered a significant blow, with over 200,000 jobs lost in the last four years since the release of ChatGPT, according to data journalist Joseph Politano. Almost 50,000 of these job cuts occurred within the past year, making it one of the most severe job loss periods in modern US history.
Politano highlights that the steepest job losses were experienced in digital arts, broadcasting, publishing, films, and sound recording. Although some areas of the live arts sector, such as museum work and performing arts, have seen growth, overall job growth in media and creative industries has remained negative since 2023. The rise of AI and the deteriorating labor economy have made it increasingly difficult to secure consistent employment in these fields, with no signs of the losses abating anytime soon.
