We expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.?

Context: Not due (horizon 2028). Amazon has cut corporate roles substantially — 14,000 in October 2025, about 16,000 in January 2026 — so the headcount half is tracking. The causal half is being disowned by the speaker: Jassy ruled out AI in October 2025 ("It's culture… you end up with a lot more layers"), and Beth Galetti framed the January round as removing bureaucracy. Reduction confirmed; AI attribution withdrawn.
