In this episode of Generative AI 101, host Emily Laird pulls back the curtain on Amazon’s latest round of corporate layoffs and the quiet rise of AI agents inside the company. This is not killer robots or sci‑fi drama, it’s workflows turning into code, middle management becoming friction, and spreadsheets making the final call. Emily breaks down why 30,000 jobs are on the line, how generative AI moved from productivity tool to internal executioner, and what it means when the company running half the internet decides it needs fewer humans to do it.
