Amazon laysoff employees from THIS important wing amid global AI embrace for cloud services

After Microsoft, Amazon has now laid off a significant chunk of its workforce. The e-commerce giant has directed the layoffs towards the cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services (AWS), affecting at least hundreds of employees across various teams.

The move, confirmed by Amazon spokespersons, comes as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to streamline operations, optimise resources, and adapt to the increasing adoption of generative AI tools, as hinted by Amazon CEO Andy Jassy previously.
