Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Warns AI Will Reduce Corporate Workforce

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, in a June 17 memo, informed employees that widespread adoption of generative AI and software agents will gradually reduce the company's corporate headcount. With over 1,000 internal GenAI applications leveraged across functions like inventory, customer service, and advertising, routine white-collar roles are expected to be replaced. Jassy urged staff to reskill and embrace AI tools—calling it a transformative shift that reshapes work, not eliminates purpose.
