Amazon to automate 75% of U.S. operations by 2033, potentially replacing 600,000 jobs with robots and AI.
Amazon plans to automate 75% of its U.S. operations by 2033, potentially replacing up to 600,000 jobs through robotics and AI, according to internal documents.
The company is rolling out highly automated facilities like the one in Shreveport, Louisiana, using around 1,000 robots to cut staffing by up to 75%, with similar models set for 40 warehouses by 2027.
While Amazon says automation aims to eliminate repetitive tasks and boost productivity, the shift could reduce hiring significantly despite growing sales.
The changes affect both warehouse and office workers, disproportionately impacting small towns where Amazon is a major employer.
Similar automation efforts are underway at UPS and the U.S.
Postal Service.
