Israeli creative-tech company Artlist, which provides a platform of licensed music, sound effects, and stock footage for content creators, is preparing to lay off approximately 200 employees — around 40% of its current workforce of 500. The company is shifting to an AI-driven operational model, according to internal sources. The layoffs are expected to affect multiple departments as the company restructures around its new AI-based product suite. Artlist has not yet issued an official statement.
