As Amazon ramps up its use of generative artificial intelligence, the company expects a reduction in its corporate workforce over the next few years. CEO Andy Jassy shared in a message to employees that while AI will eliminate some current roles, it will also create demand for new ones. He urged staff to explore AI tools, attend trainings, and help integrate the technology into daily operations. With over 1,000 generative AI applications already in progress, Amazon is investing heavily in its cloud and AI infrastructure—including multibillion-dollar data center projects across several U.S. states and deeper partnerships with startups like Anthropic.
