Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, offered advice in a public staff memo about how to navigate the AI revolution. The Amazon CEO told employees to expect cuts to white-collar jobs because of AI. Career coaches told BI what they made of Jassy's advice — and what it means for workers in the AI era.

Amazon chief executive officer Andy Jassy outlined a near future where AI will “make our jobs even more exciting and fun than they are today” — but at the same time, he said, the technology will cut the overall number of jobs at the ecommerce giant.

Experts see Jassy’s memo—addressed to Amazon’s 1.5 million full-time and part-time employees as of the end of March—as a soft launch of the company’s next round of layoffs.
