Amazon’s CEO, Andy Jassy, believes that generative AI will significantly alter the company’s approach to its workforce in the future.

As Amazon continues to integrate more AI agents, thereby changing its operational dynamics, Jassy anticipates a decrease in the number of corporate positions required, as stated in a company memo initially reported by CNBC.

## Workforce Adjustments

According to Jassy’s memo, “We will need fewer people in certain roles currently being performed and more individuals in different types of positions.”

Jassy also noted that predicting the extent of this future workforce reduction is challenging.

## Industry Trends and Research

A recent World Economic Forum survey suggests that the impact of AI on workforce numbers may already be underway, with 40% of employers planning to reduce staff in roles that can be automated by AI.
