Amazon plans to automate up to 75% of its operations by 2033, potentially replacing over 600,000 U.S. jobs while doubling product output. Internal documents suggest 160,000 roles could be avoided by 2027, saving $12.6 billion. To soften backlash, Amazon considered rebranding automation efforts with terms like “advanced technology” and “cobots.” Critics warn this shift could make the company a major job destroyer despite its claims of responsible innovation.
