Amazon CEO Andy Jassy on what AI means for the future of organizations: smaller teams, new jobs, and the ability to invent "much more expansively and much more quickly."
"I started at the company 29 years ago. I started as an assistant product manager, and I was the product manager for, I don't know, five products."
"When companies get successful and they get bigger... everybody becomes more specialized, and everybody accepts that that's the way you have to do business if you're building something big and successful, and it's not."
"And it's definitely not when you look at what's happening with AI."
"I think what it means for the future of organizations is, number one, we're gonna have fewer humans doing the work that they're doing today... You're not gonna have no people, but you're not gonna have as many humans as we've all thrown at scale as businesses have gotten bigger."
"There are gonna be different jobs and new jobs, some of which we know about, some of which we don't know about, that will arise as AI and robotics and space develop."
"I think you're gonna have smaller teams that have people who can work cross-functionally. They don't only own one sliver because the models are gonna be able to get them 80% of the way there... I think that every team will start at a much more advanced stage than we have in the past."

Five years into his run as CEO, Andy Jassy has nearly tripled the size of AWS, grown Amazon's revenue by about 80%, and expects to spend $220 billion this year to win AI. Amazon's AI business hit a $25 billion run rate in three years, growing several hundred times faster than early AWS. Jassy joins a16z's Ben Horowitz and Erik Torenberg to discuss the decisions behind that run, from rebuilding Amazon's fulfillment network after the pandemic to the AWS origin story. They also cover why data centers became a political fight, Amazon's custom chips, its stakes in Anthropic and OpenAI, why inference needs to get 10x cheaper, AI's most underrated risk, and why every company will have to reinvent its products from scratch, plus Jassy's advice for anyone who's 18 today. 0:47 How Amazon has changed since 2021 1:51 How the pandemic reshaped retail 3:30 Why AI supercharged AWS's growth 5:20 When leadership principles clash 9:36 $60M vs. $25B: early AWS vs. early AI 13:20 How the AI CapEx cash cycle works 15:44 Why the US must build data centers 20:55 The labs-to-enterprise AI barbell 23:12 Demand vs. longtime AWS customers 28:11 Annapurna, Graviton, and Trainium 33:55 Backing Anthropic and OpenAI 37:15 Why AI means smaller teams 42:13 AI's underrated risk: security 46:29 Why Amazon rewired Alexa's brain 53:07 What Jassy tells his kids about AI 56:36 Betting on AI, robotics, and space YouTube: https://youtu.be/-YMMRQ1qscI @ajassy @Amazon @bhorowitz @eriktorenberg在 X 查看被引用的帖子
