Amazon cut jobs in its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) division to focus on high-value AI projects. This follows earlier elimination of 16,000 corporate roles. The AGI unit, responsible for next-generation systems, saw leadership reorganization under Peter DeSantis. Uber laid off about 10% of its customer service workforce to simplify operations and expand AI use. The company is also enforcing return-to-office for the team. These moves reflect a wider Silicon Valley trend where firms invest billions in AI infrastructure while trimming teams for efficiency. Amazon maintains AI as a top priority. Uber cited AI for handling more customer interactions. Industry analysts see this as a new phase of AI adoption reshaping roles in support and operations.
