Amazon CEO Andy Jassy stated that employees who learn AI skills will be better positioned within Amazon as the company's workforce is likely to shrink due to AI adoption.
Jassy emphasized the importance of embracing AI, educating oneself about it, and contributing to brainstorming sessions on AI technology.
Amazon has already integrated AI into various aspects of its operations including Alexa, shopping features, and advertising tools.
The company expects AI to significantly impact how people work and live and aims to operate like a large start-up with the help of AI.
Amazon has over 1,000 generative AI services currently developed or in progress, expecting more to come in the future.
Jassy anticipates a change in the workforce structure with AI implementation, reducing some jobs but creating new roles.
Despite fears of job displacement, Jassy believes AI will enhance efficiency across Amazon.
A report found that workers have concerns about AI displacing jobs, with some feeling their specific roles could be eliminated.
Tech workers are updating their skills to include AI capabilities as companies are shifting towards AI-focused operations.
