Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Amazon CEO Predicts AI Will Reduce Corporate Workforce
Caption: Amazon CEO Predicts AI Will Reduce Corporate Workforce. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has warned staff that artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to a smaller corporate workforce in the coming years. In a memo to employees, Jassy urged them to "be curious about AI”, as the company plans to integrate the technology more widely, citing expected efficiency gains. He predicted that AI would reduce the need for some current jobs while creating new roles, but the overall result would be fewer corporate positions. The shift, according to Jassy, will be driven by AI's ability to streamline operations across the company. AI’s growing role in the tech industry has sparked concerns about job losses, particularly in entry-level office roles. Geoffrey Hinton, a key figure in AI development, warned that the technology could replace much of human intellectual labor, leaving fewer opportunities for lower-skilled positions. Amazon, which employed over 1.5 million people globally last year faces a significant workforce transformation as it adopts AI.
