AI Threat to Workers
Job cuts linked to the expansion of AI and automation are mounting. Amazon disclosed that it would eliminate 95 positions in Washington state in November 2026, following two earlier rounds that cut about 30,000 office jobs. Its fulfillment network, meanwhile, includes more than one million robots. The cuts came amid strong financial performance: Amazon reported quarterly revenue of $201.9 billion, up 12%. Jumia also announced an initial plan to reduce its workforce by 10%; its headcount fell 11% from the end of March to just over 1,770 by the end of June 2026, alongside the use of AI in its operations. In a World Economic Forum survey, 41% of employers said they expected to reduce staffing in jobs that can be automated. The International Labour Organization estimated that one in four jobs worldwide is exposed to generative AI to some degree, while noting that jobs are more likely to change in nature than disappear entirely.
