561 reported cases of automation changing specific work at
named organisations, across 29 countries. This is a
record of what has been reported — not a survey, not a
forecast, and not a measure of how anyone feels about it.
Read this before the numbers
This measures reporting, not reality. A country with
no entries means nobody wrote a story we picked up — not that nothing
is happening there. Absence is a gap in our feed.
The feed is English-language, so it leans anglophone. 69% of located items are US. Countries rank partly on how
closely one of our sources happens to follow them — New Zealand sits
far above its size for exactly that reason. That is a property of
the source list, not of the world.
150 items carry no country. They were
multinational or the location wasn't established. We leave them
unplaced rather than guess — a guessed country is a mark you can't
tell apart from a fact.
The scores don't travel. The register is built on US
BLS data. Licensing, labour law, and wage levels differ everywhere
else, and those drive three of the five dimensions. Use this page for
what's being deployed, not to read a US verdict onto another country.
Bars are counts of reported items. Solid is a deployment — an employer
that has actually put automation into its own workplace. The lighter
part is everything else: announcements, vendors testing their own
products, and regulators acting on it.
Every item names an organisation and what it did. A deployer is
adopting automation; a regulator is setting rules on it. Only countries
with three or more reported items are shown — below that the split is
noise.

When each country first appeared
The date of the earliest item we hold for each country. It marks when
this feed started carrying reports from there — not when automation
began, which nobody knows.
