AWS CEO Matt Garman says Amazon will bring on 11,000 interns and new grads this year even as it rolls out AI agents for recruiting, coding, security, and customer service.

His upbeat stance on hiring sits alongside Amazon’s broader plans to cut corporate jobs and automate half a million roles with robots.
