Amazon, Uber To Lay Off More Employees As AI Reshapes Tech Workforce

Job Loss Amid AI Push: Amazon has announced fresh job cuts in its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) division as the company continues to invest heavily in advanced AI models and products. The move comes barely months after the e-commerce giant eliminated around 16,000 corporate roles as part of a wider restructuring exercise. The tech giant has not disclosed how many employees were affected this time. However, it said the layoffs are part of a strategic shift to focus resources on projects that deliver the greatest value to customers.The latest cuts, as per a Reuters report, will impact teams working under Amazon's AGI organisation, which is responsible for building next-generation AI systems. Despite the workforce reduction, Amazon maintains that artificial intelligence remains one of its biggest long-term priorities. The restructuring follows leadership changes within the AGI unit.
