根据内部文件,亚马逊正在加快其整个美国业务的自动化,计划到2033年通过机器人和大赦国际取代大约500 000个工作岗位,几乎占美国劳动力的一半。 Amazon is accelerating automation across its U.S. operations, planning to replace about 500,000 jobs—nearly half its American workforce—by 2033 through robotics and AI, according to internal documents. 该公司的目标是使其75%的仓库流程自动化,在路易斯安那州Shreveport有一个示范设施,已经使用1 000个机器人来削减多达75%的人员配置。 The company aims to automate 75% of its warehouse processes, with a model facility in Shreveport, Louisiana, already using 1,000 robots to cut staffing by up to 75%. 它计划到2027年在40个设施中复制,包括在弗吉尼亚海滩的一个新地点,尽管销售额翻了一番,但估计会减少600,000名雇员。 It plans to replicate this in 40 facilities by 2027, including a new site in Virginia Beach, leading to an estimated 600,000 fewer hires despite doubling sales. 这一转变既影响到仓库工人,也影响到办公室工人,继续维持2022-2023年从27 000名裁员开始的趋势。 The shift affects both warehouse and office workers, continuing a trend that began with 27,000 layoffs in 2022–2023. UPS、Walmart和美国也正在进行类似的自动化努力。 Similar automation efforts are underway at UPS, Walmart, and the U.S. 邮政局,工业领袖警告AI可能会取代一半的白领工作。 Postal Service, with industry leaders warning AI could displace half of white-collar jobs. 虽然亚马逊说自动化是为了加强人的工作和创造新的技术角色, 但批评者注意到亚马逊是主要雇主的小城镇受到的影响。 While Amazon says automation is meant to enhance human work and create new technical roles, critics note the impact on small towns where Amazon is a major employer.
