Amazon cut at least hundreds of jobs in its Amazon Web Services cloud computing unit on Thursday, two sources said, just a month after CEO Andy Jassy warned that adoption of generative AI tools would trigger a workforce reduction.

Amazon explained that the AWS cloud layoffs are not “AI-driven,” however, many believe that AI ambitions are to blame for the cuts.
