New Delhi: Amazon is preparing for one of the largest shifts in its workforce in recent history, with internal documents suggesting that the company could replace more than 500,000 warehouse jobs with robots by 2033. The move, reported by The New York Times, signals a long-term transition from human-led fulfilment centres to highly automated robotic facilities that can operate faster and at lower cost.

Amazon currently employs nearly 1.2 million people in the United States, making it one of the country’s biggest private employers. While the company is not expected to initiate mass layoffs, it is reportedly planning to reduce its reliance on human workers through attrition and automated expansion. In short, machines will fill roles that would otherwise go to new hires in the future.
