Amazon has unveiled two new AI tools designed to revolutionize hiring and supply chain management. The Connect Talent software automates the recruitment process by conducting AI-led interviews, aiming to streamline hiring for seasonal peaks, such as the holiday rush. Last year, Amazon hired approximately 250,000 seasonal workers, highlighting the need for efficient hiring solutions. The second tool, Connect Decisions, assists in supply chain planning by analyzing data and providing insights to planners, utilizing Amazon's own operational experiences. This initiative is part of Amazon's broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations, guided by a new design philosophy called 'humorphism', which seeks to make AI interactions more human-like. However, the rise of AI in the workplace has raised concerns about job displacement, as evidenced by Amazon's recent layoffs of 30,000 corporate employees attributed to increased efficiencies from AI.
