What happened
Jeff Bezos stated in an interview that he does not believe AI will cause job cuts, arguing that AI's productivity gains could allow some people to support their families by working three days a week. He attributed recent job cuts at Amazon to the company's rapid hiring during the Covid-19 pandemic. Bezos also described the current AI trend as a "good" industrial bubble.
