As Amazon plans to automate more than half a million jobs, what roles are likely to be impacted? Here's a list of jobs that could be replaced by AI and automation.

Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized Jeff Bezos for potentially replacing 600,000 Amazon jobs with robots, while Elon Musk warned that AI and robotics could make work largely optional in the future.

In one post, Amazon highlighted Blue Jay, a robot it calls “an extra set of hands that helps employees with tasks that involve reaching and lifting,” and its agentic AI system Project Eluna, which “acts like an extra teammate, helping reduce that cognitive load” while optimizing sorting to reduce bottlenecks.

Recent reports citing Amazon’s internal documents found the company plans to automate 75% of its operations—translating to up to 600,000 potential future jobs.
