The job cuts come as Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has said he envisions the company relying on AI agents to replace human workers.

Amazon, which announced plans this week to reduce its global corporate workforce by about 14,000 jobs, says it is laying off 760 jobs in Southern California beginning in January as part of a shakeup driven by artificial intelligence.

The October 28 announcement follows months of internal messaging about removing corporate layers to foster efficiency in the rapidly evolving tech landscape.

Amazon says that it will cut an estimated 14,000 jobs from its corporate workforce as it focuses on “reducing bureaucracy, removing layers, and shifting resources."

Amazon said the cuts are continuing CEO Andy Jassy's goal of operating "like the world's largest startup."

Amazon plans to lay off as many as 30,000 corporate employees, beginning tomorrow, reports say. The cuts would total nearly 10% of the company’s corporate jobs, as advances in artificial intelligence stoke fears about the white-collar workforce and the US labor market shows signs of weakening.

Amazon is expected to cut 30,000 jobs Tuesday as the company reportedly looks to reduce bureaucracy and implement AI resources.

Amazon will eliminate 14,000 corporate positions through internal restructuring, joining over 200 tech companies that cut 98,000 jobs this year.

Amazon ( AMZN 3.23%) announced Tuesday that it's cutting 14,000 corporate jobs, shedding roughly 4% of its workforce in a bid to shift more resources to artificial intelligence (AI) and other high-profile priorities.

Amazon said it would cut around 14,000 jobs from its white-collar workforce. The news made it the latest corporate giant to do so—and one of several big tech companies that are paring back at a time when business is strong.
