Amazon CEO Andy Jassy: AI to Shrink Corporate Workforce Amid Efficiency Drive

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy disclosed in an internal memo that extensive adoption of generative AI and agent-based tools will reduce the company’s corporate workforce over the next few years. These technologies, now widely deployed across corporate and warehouse operations, are expected to boost efficiency but lead to fewer white-collar roles. Employees are encouraged to upskill in AI. The move reflects a broader trend as Amazon invests heavily—around $100 billion this year—in AI infrastructure.
