Amazon has conducted layoffs affecting at least 100 white-collar employees in its robotics division, which focuses on warehouse automation systems and robotic technologies. This follows a previous reduction of around 16,000 roles in January, part of a broader restructuring linked to efficiency and AI initiatives.

Overall, Amazon has cut about 30,000 corporate positions, nearly 10% of its workforce, since October. The company earlier paused development on a robotic arm project, indicating a shift in automation priorities. The ongoing cuts reflect a trend among tech companies reevaluating workforce needs in the AI-driven landscape.
