Amazon on Wednesday laid off staff in its artificial general intelligence, or AGI, division, marking the latest in a string of smaller workforce reductions that followed the company’s broader layoffs in January. The update was reported by BlockBeats on July 22. An Amazon spokesperson said the company has been building large AI models for years and still views that work as one of its most important priorities. At the same time, Amazon said it is concentrating resources on the projects that matter most to customers and wants to move faster in key areas. That shift, the spokesperson said, required difficult decisions, including cutting some roles within the AGI organization. The company did not disclose how many positions were affected in the latest round.
