The Alliance for Secure AI Action Calls For Action As AI Keeps Taking Jobs While industry figureheads have recently backed down on their estimations that artificial intelligence (AI) would cause a job apocalypse, the tech has maintained its advance by reportedly replacing positions due to the inclusion of AI in workplaces.

The Alliance for Secure AI Action, a nonprofit that focuses on explaining the challenges of AI implementation, reported that as of 10 June 2026, 126,510 positions have been replaced or eliminated by the inclusion of AI in workplaces in the U.S. alone.

The jobloss.ai portal, managed by the alliance, has collected this information since January 2025, examining 49 reports across 16 industries in the U.S.

The alliance claims its objective is to warn about the global impact and transformative potential of AI technology, with both positive and negative implications. This constitutes a rise of nearly 30K positions replaced or lost by AI since March, an acceleration of the process that has US citizens worried. According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in February, four in ten U.

S. adults say AI will hurt society over the next 20 years. Brendan Steinhauser, CEO of the alliance, stresses that AI companies are aware of their unpopularity and are concerned about the wealth and power they amass.

Bernie Sanders has also been criticizing how “slow-moving” Congress has been in trying to rein in and gain control of these issues.

Sanders recently introduced the controversial American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, which would give the public 50% ownership of key U.S.-based AI companies.
