AI Layoffs Surge, But The Future is Still Ours
According to CNN Business (Nov 2025), 17,375 U.S. job losses this year were directly attributed to AI, with another 20,219 linked to broader technological automation. A Goldman Sachs analysis (Aug 2025) estimates that up to 6–7% of the American workforce could eventually be displaced if AI is widely adopted. As Axios (Oct 2025) reports, policy and economic change are as responsible for layoffs as AI itself.
But in times of upheaval, we get to choose: stand by, or step forward. The Equity in AI Institute is more than a reaction—it’s a rallying point for rebuilding careers, rekindling dignity, and elevating every person’s potential.
The Equity in AI Institute is a hands-on learning is the core. Students identify a business problem, architect and prototype an AI solution, then work with mentors to ensure their ideas are grounded and workable beyond the classroom.

At Equity in AI Institute, we believe the next era of technology must be built on opportunity, inclusion, and purpose.
