California built a real-time dashboard to track whether AI is actually killing jobs
California launched CAIT, the nation's first statewide AI-unemployment tracker, on June 25, 2026, linking real-time unemployment insurance data to AI-exposure measures by occupation. The initial findings show no aggregate surge, but college-educated workers in high-AI-exposure roles have seen elevated claims since ChatGPT-3.5 launched in 2022, concentrated in the Bay Area's professional services and information sectors.
