Amazon CEO warns: As AI advances, companies will lay off further employees in the future – Passionategeekz –

[CNMO Technology News]As global technology giants accelerate their layout of artificial intelligence, Amazon is also experiencing a profound internal change. The company’s CEO Andy Jassy recently made it clear in a memo to employees that with the promotion of generative AI and smart agents, the company will further reduce the number of employees in the next few years.

Jassy pointed out: “As we launch more generative AI and agents, this will change the way we work. Some of the work we do today will no longer require so much manpower in the future, and more new positions will appear.” This statement further confirms that artificial intelligence is reshaping the labor structure while improving corporate efficiency.

In fact, since 2022, Amazon has laid off more than 27,000 employees, and the affected departments include equipment and services departments and book business. Jasi’s latest statement this time sent a clearer signal: AI technology is not only a tool to improve operational efficiency, but is also becoming a key driver of the company’s organizational reconstruction.

At present, Amazon has developed more than 1,000 AI applications and services. In an internal letter, Jassie said that this is “just a small part of what we can achieve”, emphasizing the company’s long-term investment strategy in the field of AI. It can be foreseen that with the continuous deepening of AI capabilities, the risk of traditional jobs being replaced will be further intensified, and new technical jobs will emerge in large numbers.

Amazon’s move is not an isolated case in the context of the overall technology industry increasingly relying on AI automation to adapt to market changes. Meta, Google, Microsoft and other giants have also optimized resource allocation through layoffs and technical restructuring. It can be foreseeable that the next few years will be the peak period for AI to promote corporate structural transformation, and the dividends and challenges of technological change are taking place at the same time.
