Amazon Boss Andy Jassi has asked employees to embrace Artificial Intelligence (AI) and warned that the technology will lead a small corporate workforce over the next few years.
He predicted employees in a memorandum on Tuesday, urging employees to “be curious about AI”.
Tech veteran is the latest firm, which is to determine its plans to determine their plans between AI, which will cause rapid job losses worldwide.
Mr. Jassi said that he hoped that the AI would lead the “efficiency gain” that would allow the firm to reduce his corporate workforce.
He wrote, “We will need to do some things that are being done today, and more people are doing other types of work,” he wrote.
“It is difficult to know where it leaves over time, but over the next few years, we hope that it will reduce our total corporate workforce because we will get efficiency benefits from using AI on a large scale in the company.”
Companies, especially in the technical field, have been investing heavily in AI in recent years, inspired by technological development, which have made codes, pictures and lessons easier than before with limited instructions for chatbots.
But as new equipment receives traction, they have warned some technical leaders of job loss, especially in the roles of the entry level office.
Dario Amodi, Chief Executive Officer of AI-Firm Anthropic, told the news website Exios last month that the technology could erase half of the entry-level white caller jobs.
Geoffree Hinton, whose work on AI on AI, has earned him the “Godfather of AI”, recently echoed those warnings on the podcast.
“This is a very different type of technique,” he said, pushing back against arguments that AI will carry forward job loss because technology creates new types of posts, in the first seen patterns with technical jump.
“If all this worldly human intellectual labor can do, what new jobs are it going to create? You have to be very efficient to do a job that it can not just do.”
Amazon directly appointed more than 1.5 million people worldwide at the end of last year.
Most of the employees are in the US, where it ranks as the second largest employer in the country after Walmart.
While many employees in the firm’s e-commerce godowns, around 350,000 people also serve the company in office roles.
In his memorandum, Mr. Jassi said that Amazon was using AI in “virtually every corner of the company” and hoped that technology eventually expects regular tasks, such as shopping and daily works.
He said, “Many of these agents have been made so far, but there is no mistake, they are coming and coming fast,” he said, such changes have been “well deployed” in the company.
He said that half a million vendors on its platforms were already using the company’s AI tool to make information about their products, while the advertisers were also adopting its AI Prasad.
