   US computer and information science enrollment falls for a second year

   Preliminary National Student Clearinghouse data show US computer and information science undergraduate enrollment fell more than 12% and graduate enrollment more than 10% this fall, extending a decline recorded for two consecutive years. Reports discuss concerns about AI-related changes to entry-level programming work and weaker technology hiring. Stanford University economist Jacob Light said the enrollment data do not prove that AI or ChatGPT caused students to turn away from the field; changes in learning, students’ expectations about course returns, a weak technology job market and international student factors may also matter. The preliminary data exclude international student enrollment.

   CAIS dashboard tallies 117,000 AI-linked job cuts and $8.5B in wage losses

   The Center for AI Safety's Wage Loss Dashboard, updated this month with September data, estimates just over 117,000 AI-attributed US job cuts in 2026 and about $8.5 billion in annual wage losses, ZDNET reports. It converts cuts into dollars using Bureau of Labor Statistics state wage data and Census population figures, producing roughly $25 per person nationally and $56 in California. CAIS cautions that state figures are modeled by applying the national AI-attributed share of cuts to each state's announced layoffs, not observed AI layoffs, and that the dashboard excludes jobs created by AI, productivity gains and re-employment. A companion section using the Remote Labor Index says the best agent completed 2.5% of freelance projects at professional quality when the benchmark launched and 15.8% eight months later, with Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.5 on top.
