Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasized the transformative potential of generative AI on the company’s workforce in a recent memo. He stated that as AI agents are increasingly integrated into operations, a reduction in corporate jobs is anticipated, although it's difficult to predict the extent. Jassy pointed out that employers are already considering workforce reductions, with a World Economic Forum survey indicating that 40% of employers plan to downsize roles that could be automated. This shift suggests a significant evolution in job requirements at Amazon.
We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.
The size of this future reduction of workforce is hard to estimate.
A recent survey from the World Economic Forum found that potential reductions in workforce due to AI may already be happening.
40% of employers plan to cut staff that are doing roles that can be automated by AI.
