Amazon's AI Shift: Winners and Losers

Amazon cuts about 14,000 corporate jobs to accelerate its AI push and streamline layers, following earlier reports that as many as 30,000 corporate roles were under review. Leadership framed this as reallocating spend to AI, AWS, and data center infrastructure rather than simple cost cutting.
