In a recent company-wide email, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasized the importance of embracing generative AI among employees. He indicated that adapting to and leveraging AI technology is vital for career success within the company. However, he also warned that as AI enhances efficiency, it's likely to lead to reductions in the corporate workforce. Jassy's message raises questions about potential resistance to AI in certain areas of Amazon and suggests a dual purpose behind the communication, both for internal morale and external investor assurance regarding cost reductions.
"Those who embrace this change, become conversant in AI, help us build and improve our AI capabilities internally and deliver for customers, will be well-positioned."
"We expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company."
