Study: 200k jobs lost in U.S. media and arts; how much is AI?

A recent analysis found that the United States has shed approximately 200,000 jobs across media, film, music and the arts in recent years. The report attempts to quantify how much of this decline is attributable to artificial intelligence versus other industry shifts like streaming, consolidation and changing consumer habits.

The data highlights a growing concern among creatives and industry workers about AI's impact on employment in traditionally human-centered fields. The findings add to an emerging body of evidence documenting specific labor markets affected by AI adoption and displacement.
