Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that artificial intelligence will transform the workforce by automating routine tasks while creating new roles in technology fields. AI is already helping employees focus on more innovative and high-value work, although it will lead to a reduced need for certain positions. In a memo, Jassy observed that the integration of AI could downsize the corporate workforce. He encouraged employees to embrace AI through education and adaptation to take advantage of new job opportunities that will emerge, especially in robotics and AI development.
As with every major technological shift, there will be fewer people doing some of the jobs that the technology actually starts to automate.
AI is already freeing Amazon employees from rote work, making jobs more interesting, and enabling staff to focus on innovation and higher-value tasks.
We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.
Jassy positioned the ongoing transformation as an opportunity for those willing to adapt, urging employees to be curious about AI, educate yourself, attend workshops.
