Amazon is cutting approximately 14,000 corporate roles globally, citing the need to reorganize for faster AI innovation. The company aims to reduce organizational layers and shift resources toward AI investments, despite strong Q2 performance with $167.7B in sales. This follows previous layoffs of 27,000 workers in 2022, as Amazon focuses on efficiency while investing heavily in AI tools that CEO Andy Jassy says will automate routine tasks and reshape workforce needs.
