Amazon says AI will change how the corporation operates in the United States. Amazon, one of the most powerful corporations in the world, has begun implementing artificial intelligence into its staff as part of a new strategy. This means that a lot of business jobs—mostly those where AI can perform the work more effectively—will most likely disappear in the coming years.
This tactic is a part of a global movement that is altering the way we work and igniting the discussion about how our jobs will change in the age of artificial intelligence.Let’s examine how Amazon is attempting to use this technology.
Amazon and AI
The CEO of Amazon, Andy Jassy, declared this week that the company will be reducing its workforce in the coming years in order to implement artificial intelligence (AI). Why? As is well known, artificial intelligence is demonstrating significant gains in efficiency, and the more advanced it becomes, the more efficient it will be.
According to Jassy, some tasks will no longer require human presence as AI becomes increasingly integrated into business operations. But as AI becomes more prevalent, it’s predicted that additional occupations will emerge to meet technological demands.
An investment of millions
With over 1.5 million workers, Amazon is one of the firms with the largest workforces in the world. Nonetheless, the corporation is spending about $100 billion to expand its data centers and enhance its AI services as a result of the investment in AI.
Amazon’s $83 billion investment in AI last year demonstrates how quickly the business is placing its trust in technology.
New ways of working
AI agents, or programs that can perform activities on their own, will transform how we live and work, according to the CEO of Amazon. Although the majority of what he is discussing does not exist, he is certain that they will all arrive very soon. Additionally, he highlighted how these tools will speed up innovation, which will benefit Amazon customers.
There are over a thousand AI apps and services available or in development at Amazon if we include all of their services. As a result, they are knowledgeable.
Worrying among workers
Since Amazon will persuade other businesses (and is already doing so) to utilize AI to perform activities that are currently performed by people, this situation is leaving corporate workers feeling perplexed and anxious about their working conditions.
According to a Bloomberg Intelligence analysis, AI may be eliminating up to 200,000 banking jobs and, as a result, creating concern in other industries about the future of their workers and their jobs.
Are other companies copying Amazon s strategy?
Naturally, businesses in other industries are already beginning to use AI as a tactic to increase productivity. Let’s examine the companies:
- CrowdStrike: cybersecurity company that fired 5% of their workers in May.
- Shopify: where the CEO said managers have to show tasks at this company can t be done by AI before more employees get fired.
- Duolingo: it will replace their employees in charge of repetitive tasks by AI, and just in the case of being unable to automate the teamwork more, more jobs will be announced.
- BT Group CEO (UK) said they are thinking about firing 400,000 jobs in the next decade, but he warned this figure doesn t show the impact AI could have.
As you can see, AI appears to pose a greater threat to all of these individuals who have received the necessary training and have accumulated a great deal of work experience. We have no idea what the future holds or whether humans and AI can actually cohabit in the workplace. Hopefully, there will be a possibility for new technologies and people to collaborate.
