Anduril Industries: 2,400 jobs created

Defense AI company grew from ~2,400 to ~7,000 employees (2023-2025). Hired 1,000+ in 9 months in 2024. The company explicitly cited AI and automation as a primary driver of the workforce reduction. The expansion demonstrates the dual nature of AI's impact on employment — while some roles are eliminated, new positions are being created in AI development, deployment, and management.
