Amazon CEO predicts AI impact on job market

Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy thinks AI is about to shake up the job market.
In a recent interview, he said generative AI is growing so fast that it's already automating some tasks and reducing the need for people in those roles.
But he also pointed out that this tech wave will create new opportunities in areas like AI development and robotics—so it's more about jobs changing than disappearing.

TL;DR

Amazon has let go of over 27,000 employees

Jassy isn't alone here. Salesforce's boss Marc Benioff says AI handles up to half the work at his company, and big names like Shopify and Microsoft are all-in on using more AI too.
Since 2022, Amazon has cut over 27,000 jobs as it leans into automation, shifting focus from repetitive tasks to more creative work powered by technology.
