Amazon's leaked automation document!
The leak says they plan to avoid hiring 600 000 workers in near future.
Here's how:
-AI replaces some work
-robots replaces some other type of work
-both kind of work required a human presence previously
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/technology/inside-amazons-plans-to-replace-workers-with-robots.html
Amazon executives believe the company can avoid hiring more than 160,000 workers in the United States by 2026 through robotic automation.
A few years beyond that, they would avoid 440 000 more.
It does not specify how many jobs are lost to ChatGPT type AI and how many are taken by robots. But both equal to 600 000 in near future.
Internal documents viewed by The New York Times show the automation would save 33 percent in cost of each item the company picks, packs and delivers. If it was a cheap item, saves are negligible, but if it was expensive this is quickly cumulative and adds up when many items are considered within a day.
Amazon has just recently opened its most advanced warehouse in Shreveport, Louisiana. This will be a robot zone. The site already uses a thousand robots and employed a quarter fewer workers than it would have without automation. For now, there are humans watching over the robots but for how long? There is no AI yet in Shreveport, robots only, they can't be truly compared to AI models we see running in Google and in Microsoft systems. These robots are more traditional in sense of intelligence. But on the other hand they are extremely advanced by their mechanical design and human like motor skills in maneuvering their limbs.
