Amazon plans to cut corporate jobs as it turns more to AI
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy shared his thoughts on generative artificial intelligence Tuesday and said it could lead to a reduction in its corporate workforce over the next few years. 'Today, in virtually every corner of the company, we're using generative AI to make customers lives better and easier,' Jassy said in a memo shared first with Amazon employees and then the public. Generative AI is used to create new content. The executive said Amazon is 'investing quite expansively' in generative AI and listed several projects such as Alexa+ that will be able to provide 'intelligent answers to virtually any question.' Amazon is also using generative AI in its internal operations, Jassy said, adding, 'In our fulfillment network, we're using AI to improve inventory placement, demand forecasting, and the efficiency of our robots—all of which have improved cost to serve and delivery speed.' He said the company has more than 1,000 generative AI services and applications either in progress or already built. But all this innovative work will come at a cost to workers amid fears AI will replace human jobs. 'As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' Jassy wrote in the memo. He continued: 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.' It's unclear how many workers are expected to be replaced by AI and when. When The Independent reached out to Amazon for comment, it did not give any specific numbers. People familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal that Amazon doesn't expect to have mass layoffs soon. Amazon laid off more than 18,000 employees in 2022 and 2023, the Journal previously reported. Those cuts were focused on its devices business, recruiting and retail operations, according to the publication. The company employed more than 1.5 million full-time and part-time workers as of last December.

Cadwalader partner leaves to join Roberta Kaplan's law firm
June 17 (Reuters) - A litigation partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft who also chaired the law firm's pro bono committee has left for a smaller firm led by Roberta Kaplan, marking the latest departure from firms that struck deals with U.S. President Donald Trump to avert a White House crackdown. Ellen Holloman is joining Kaplan Martin, the litigation firm said on Tuesday, touting her experience representing major financial institutions and companies, and her pro bono work on behalf of "veterans, asylum seekers, and members of the LGBTQ community." Cadwalader in April pledged to provide at least $100 million in free legal work to causes Trump supports, one of nine firms to reach similar deals with the White House to avoid executive orders targeting their businesses. Holloman opposed Cadwalader's deal with Trump, according to a person familiar with her departure from the firm. A Cadwalader spokesperson thanked Holloman for her contributions to the firm and noted she has worked with Kaplan in the past. "We wish them continued success," the spokesperson said. Kaplan, who represented writer E. Jean Carroll in defamation lawsuits against Trump, formed Kaplan Martin last year with Tim Martin, Steven Cohen and Mitra Hormozi. The firm is representing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in litigation to block the Trump administration's efforts to end Manhattan's congestion pricing program. Other firms that made deals with the Trump administration have also lost U.S. partners in recent months. Since the end of May, nine partners have left Paul Weiss to join a new firm, Dunn Isaacson Rhee, co-founded by former Paul Weiss partner Karen Dunn. Litigation partners Martha Goodman and Amy Mauser were the latest to announce their moves in LinkedIn posts this week. Goodman and Mauser did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Paul Weiss in a statement thanked the lawyers for their contributions. On Friday a group of seven partners left Willkie Farr & Gallagher to join Cooley, which is representing Jenner & Block in its lawsuit fighting a Trump executive order against it. Willkie also added a partner from another firm this week.
