International AI Safety Report 2026

evidence

The second edition of the multinational scientific assessment, with more than ninety authors and advisers from over thirty countries, reports that general-purpose AI effects on labour markets are so far mixed — early evidence of reduced demand for easily substitutable work such as writing and translation, increased demand for complementary skills, newer research indicating no significant effect on overall employment to date, and possible effects on junior workers in exposed occupations such as software engineering and customer service — alongside rapid capability improvement in mathematics, coding and autonomous operation. V55 verification basis: the report was not fetched, but search results carried the chair, the authorship scale, the February 2026 publication and these labour and capability findings, attributing them to the report and to its executive summary.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
