What does this mean for workers? Business Insider's moves touch 3 jobs, which together employ about 179,000 people in the U.S. Across them, AI and robots already touch between 1h 15m (news analysts, reporters, and journalists) and 2h 36m (writers and authors) of a typical 8-hour shift. A single company's move is an early signal for these jobs, and the time cards show how far the change has spread nationally.
Announced means the company said it would do this; nothing is running yet. Rolling out means it is in use and spreading to more locations or teams.
