Amazon says it will reduce its workforce as AI replaces human employees

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that artificial intelligence will likely lead to a smaller corporate workforce in the coming years, as AI increases efficiency and changes how work is done. In a blog post, he said AI will reduce the need for some jobs while creating new roles, though the overall impact remains uncertain. Jassy emphasized that AI will transform work across all industries and urged employees to view AI as helpful teammates. His comments reflect broader concerns in the tech industry about AI’s potential to eliminate white‑collar jobs, though economists say it’s still unclear how much AI is currently affecting hiring trends.
