The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 25% now, 48% at the end of 2027, 56% at the end of 2028, 59% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 59% desk work, 25% people work and 16% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 42% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 45% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

• “Evolving technologies, including AI Technologies, and distribution models, as well as the overall size of the entertainment and content market, affect demand for our content; how our content is generated, distributed and consumed; the sources and nature of competing offerings; and advertisers' options for reaching target audiences, any of which can affect the predictability of our revenues and...”

• “The legal landscape continues to evolve with respect to the development and increased prevalence of certain new technologies, including AI Technologies.”

Headcount by filing year

As reported in each year's annual report, with the filing. A year marked not read had no figure the reading could take from the report's text.

Limits of this reading

• The 3,600 project-based staff on the payroll are stated beside the 17,600 employees and are recorded in the notes, not summed, since the filing does not give them as parts of one total.
• The first annual report of the combined company, so the headcount history holds one year.
• The filing counts no employees by segment, so the shares are by description (c).
