The General Director of Amazon, Andy Jassa, claims that the progress in artificial intelligence will “reduce” corporate employment of the company over the next few years. In the note For employees on Tuesday, Jassy writes that Amazon expects a change due to “the benefits of performance resulting from the wide use of AI throughout the company”, without determining the number of employees.
“When we introduce more generative artificial intelligence and agents, this should change the way our work is performed,” says Jaszy. “We will need fewer people performed some works that are carried out today and more people performing other types of work.”
He notes that employees should also “be curious about AI” and how to employ it to “end more with more convenient teams:
Those who accept this change become different in artificial intelligence, help us build and improve our AI capabilities and provide clients, will be well prepared to achieve a lot of influence and help us discover the company again.
Other companies share statements about how they expect that artificial intelligence will also affect their working strength. In April, the general director of Shopify, Tobi Lütke, told employees, asking for a larger number of employees or resources that they should explain why “they cannot get what they want to employ artificial intelligence.” Luis von Ahn, general director of Duolingo, also stated that the company plans to replace contract employees of artificial intelligence as part of the new “AI-First” approach.
