Block plans to reduce middle management and restructure roles to embrace AI, according to CEO Jack Dorsey's vision for the company.
According to Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, this week's 14,000 layoffs were not caused by a focus on AI or to cut costs. Instead, the massive layoffs are intended to kickstart a cultural change within the company. Amazon reported quarterly revenue of $180.2 billion, a 13% increase year-on-year. Profits amounted to $21 billion. Nevertheless, the company is taking a $1.8 billion charge for severance payments this quarter.
