Amazon boss tells staff AI means their jobs are at risk
Andy Jassy, chief executive of Amazon, told staff: 'We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.'
The boss of Amazon has told white collar staff at the e-commerce company their jobs could be taken by artificial intelligence in the next few years.
Andrew Jassy told employees AI agents — tools that carry out tasks autonomously — and generative AI systems such as chatbots would require fewer employees in certain areas.
