US loses 200,000 media and culture jobs. Is AI to blame?

The United States lost over 200,000 jobs in creative industries—media, film, and art—over the past four years, with about 50,000 in the last year alone. Job losses at this scale previously occurred only during recessions. Hollywood shed over 100,000 positions, nearly one-third of the industry. Analysts point to AI as a factor affecting all digital arts sectors, while live entertainment continues to grow.
