Amazon automates more jobs with one million robots

cnbc.com

Amazon has deployed its millionth robot, a move that will be powered by a new generative AI model, signaling increased automation within the company. The new "DeepFleet" AI model will coordinate the robots, potentially speeding up deliveries by 10%. Amazon began using robots in its facilities in 2012, and their roles have expanded significantly since then. This expansion comes amid broader concerns about job displacement due to AI, even as Amazon claims it will create new roles in areas like maintenance. Other tech companies are also cutting jobs due to automation.
