Amazon announced job cuts within its Artificial General Intelligence organization on July 22, 2026, as part of an effort to streamline operations and focus resources on high-priority initiatives. The company confirmed the layoffs took place on a Wednesday but did not disclose how many employees were affected. An Amazon spokesperson said the restructuring aims to sharpen the company’s focus on the initiatives that matter most, following a much larger cut of 16,000 positions in January 2026.
