Amazon is preparing to replace more than half a million jobs with robots as part of a strategy to automate 75% of its operations. Internal documents indicate that this shift marks a significant transformation in the company's labor force, which has already heavily relied on technology in its operations.
Amazon is increasingly deploying robots like Sparrow, Cardinal, and Proteus in its warehouses to enhance automation and reduce reliance on human labor. These robotic systems are designed to streamline operations by efficiently handling tasks such as moving products and organizing shipments, reflecting the company's strategy to minimize hiring in the future.
