Amazon to cut thousands of jobs - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
""As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. "We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.""
""The reductions we're sharing today are a continuation of this work to get even stronger by further reducing bureaucracy, removing layers and shifting resources to ensure we're investing in our biggest bets and what matters most to our customers' current and future needs.""
""The world is changing quickly. "This generation of AI is the most transformative technology we've seen since the internet and it's enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before. "We're convicted that we need to be organised more leanly, with fewer layers and more ownership, to move as quickly as possible for our customers and business.""
Amazon will cut 14,000 corporate jobs starting this week as the company adopts artificial intelligence. Human resources, devices and services, operations and Amazon Web Services are expected to be targeted. Amazon employs 75,000 workers in the UK and more than 1.5 million worldwide, with most positions in warehouses. The rollout of generative AI and automated agents is expected to change how work is done, creating fewer roles for some tasks and new roles for others. The reductions aim to reduce bureaucracy, remove layers, shift resources toward big bets, and organize more leanly to move faster for customers.
