Amazon Cloud Chief: Replacing Junior Staff With AI Is 'Dumbest' Idea


Amazon cloud chief Matt Garman says replacing junior staff with AI is short-sighted, calling it "one of the dumbest things" he's ever heard.

Matt Garman, Amazon's cloud boss, has a warning for business leaders rushing to swap workers for AI: Don't ditch your junior employees. The Amazon Web Services CEO said on an episode of the "Matthew Berman" podcast published Tuesday that replacing entry-level staff with AI tools is "one of the dumbest things I've ever heard." "While this is still a small share of the overall US labor market, we estimate that generative AI will eventually displace 6-7% of all US workers," Jan Hatzius, Goldman Sachs' chief economist, wrote in August.
