      {
        "q": "Is AI causing the job cuts?",
        "a": "Not on employers' own account, so far. Of 111,306 UK roles in announced cuts since January 2025, employers tied 2,907 to AI or automation: 800 to AI and 2,107 to automation. Far more announcements mention AI only in passing, or are linked to it by unions and commentators, and several employers have denied it. ONS's business survey finds most firms using AI report no change in headcount."
      },
      {
        "q": "Could employers be playing AI down?",
        "a": "Possibly. Saying AI replaced staff can be unpopular, and cost, restructuring or 'changing customer behaviour' can describe the same change. That is why the scale grades what was said, not what may be true, and why the contested middle is shown in full."
      },
      {
        "q": "Could employers be playing AI up?",
        "a": "Also possible. Calling a cut AI driven can sound like modernisation rather than retrenchment. A level 4 grade records the employer's claim; it does not prove the technology did the work."
      },
      {
        "q": "Why only 100 or more roles?",
        "a": "It matches the threshold for the 45 day collective consultation, so the announcement is usually public. Smaller cuts are counted in the national figures but are too many and too rarely announced to track by name."
      },
      {
        "q": "Why does HSBC not count as an AI cut?",
        "a": "Reports in October 2026 said HSBC was cutting UK wealth roles as part of a wider AI push. HSBC confirmed a consultation but gave no number and did not attribute it to AI, so it sits at level 1 with the UK figure not stated."
      },
      {
        "q": "Is AI different from earlier waves of automation?",
        "a": "In one way the pattern looks familiar. Of the 24 historic cuts graded here, 9 had technology in the argument at the time, and in 6 of them the link was made by ministers, MPs or unions rather than the employer, as with AI and most cuts today. The cuts that changed the labour market most, in coal, steel, cars and shipbuilding, were not blamed on machines at all."
      },
      {
        "q": "Why does the national record start in 1977?",
        "a": "Because nothing earlier exists. The Department of Employment told Parliament in 1982 that comparable information on redundancies before 1977 does not exist. Its confirmed redundancy series ran from 1977 until summer 1992, when it was dropped as an unreliable indicator; 1986 and 1991 have not yet been found in a source that can be checked. The ONS survey measure shown above starts in 1995."

    "The scale grades what the employer and others said, not whether AI actually caused the cut. An employer may play AI down or up.",
    "The tracker includes cuts of 100 or more UK roles that were publicly announced or reported. Many smaller cuts, and some large ones never made public, are missing; the ONS figures cover all redundancies.",
    "Role counts are the employer's figure where it gave one. Where only a union or the press gave a number, the row is marked and still counted in the total, but never in the AI figure.",
    "Announced cuts are often smaller in the end: through voluntary exits, redeployment, vacancies left unfilled or plans withdrawn. The tracker records the announcement and updates status when known.",
    "Global cuts with no UK figure are listed but not counted. No UK share is estimated.",
    "Derby City Council's 100 posts were vacant when deleted; no one was made redundant. They are counted because the jobs no longer exist.",
    "The Metropolitan Police tied about 500 of 1,150 planned reductions to an analytics contract that was then blocked; those 500 are not in the AI figure.",
    "ONS HR1 figures exclude forms that mention contract changes, pensions or TUPE transfers rather than dismissals, which is why they run below the Insolvency Service's own management information.",
    "Quotes are verbatim from the saved source page; dashes are shown as hyphens."
