"I do believe that a lot of the jobs that we've thrown human beings at for the last 20 or 30 years, you won't need as many human beings doing those same jobs. I also think there are going to be other jobs created, and that has always happened in every technology shift."
"In the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company."
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that AI will reduce the need for human workers in many roles that companies have relied on for decades, but emphasized that new job categories will emerge from technological advancement. He referenced his previous memo indicating Amazon expects workforce reductions through AI efficiency gains. Jassy cited the cloud solutions architect role as an example of a job that didn't exist 15 years ago but now thrives. While acknowledging job displacement concerns following Block's announcement of cutting half its workforce, Jassy maintained an optimistic perspective, noting that historical technology shifts have consistently created new employment opportunities alongside eliminating old ones.
