🧠 Broadcast Industry Leads in AI-Driven Job and Wage Losses

A recent study by Wiingy reveals that the broadcasting sector has been hit harder by the implementation of artificial intelligence than any other industry.

Key Statistics:

• Job Cuts: The number of positions at U.S. media companies has plummeted by 36.2% since late 2022 (following the launch of ChatGPT).
• Wage Decline: Real wages in the sector have dropped by 19.5%, marking a record low across all analyzed professions.
• Comparative Impact: Other creative fields have fared significantly better, with copywriting seeing an 11.5% decrease and web design down by 11%. Conversely, professions involving physical labor remain “AI-proof.” Demand has surged for fitness instructors (+21%), massage therapists (+11.3%), and dancers.

The video editing market presents a unique outlier. In this field, AI is not eliminating the profession but rather transforming it. Demand for video editing training is actually on the rise, as human oversight remains essential to curate and manage AI-driven tools.
