My read

The change looks different depending on where you look. Cuts are spreading across industries. AI is moving into ordinary business functions. And the labor market is changing in what employers want, who gets hired, and how exposed work is rewarded.

These are the highlights. The research behind each number is on my Research page.

AI adoption is reshaping how companies operate, what work people do, and how organizations make decisions about hiring, restructuring, and automation. Those changes often happen company by company, long before their broader effects are visible to public systems.

Hynta exists to make those shifts easier to see.

AI has the potential to create enormous economic and social value. We believe people, companies, and public institutions should have a shared view of how that transition is unfolding so they can make better decisions before its effects become harder to reverse.
