The CEO of Amazon has revealed that the company plans to reduce its corporate workforce in the coming years as it continues to utilize AI.

Getting into it: In a memo addressed to Amazon employees, CEO Andy Jassy outlined how the company’s growing use of artificial intelligence will reshape its workforce and operations. “As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,” Jassy wrote. “We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.”

While he did not specify the exact number of jobs that will be eliminated, Jassy emphasized that AI-driven efficiency gains will “reduce our total corporate workforce” over the next few years. He encouraged employees to “be curious about AI,” adding that those who learn to work with the technology and contribute to internal AI development “will be well-positioned to have high impact and help us reinvent the company.”

Calling generative AI a “once-in-a-lifetime reinvention of everything we know,” Jassy said the technology is “moving faster than almost anything technology has ever seen” and is already transforming how the company operates internally and delivers services to customers.

Jassy’s comments come as Amazon ramps up its AI strategy with major investments. In 2025 alone, the company plans to spend $100 billion on expanding AI services and building out the data centers needed to support them.
