Amazon (AMZN) stock is back up on Tuesday after the company’s AWS outage ended, which impacted several websites and services. The outage lasted just over 15 hours and hit AMZN stock hard. According to Amazon, the outage originated at the company’s Virginia data center, called US-East-1, and had to do with a domain name system issue and Amazon’s DynamoDB database service.

As well as AWS returning to normal, a report has also emerged that Amazon plans to replace 600,000 workers with AI-powered robots to improve efficiency. The New York Times reports that Amazon is hoping its robots can replace more than 600,000 jobs it would otherwise have to hire in the United States by 2033, despite estimating it will sell about twice as many products over the period. Per the NYT, Documents reportedly show that Amazon’s robotics team is working towards automating 75 percent of the company’s entire operations. The e-commerce giant expects to ditch 160,000 US roles by 2027.

The robot overload comes as Amazon (AMZN) is preparing to cut up to 15% of its human resources staff as part of a major AI-driven restructuring. The company’s People Experience and Technology team will experience the deepest reductions, though job losses will spread across other consumer business units too. Amazon has made its intentions clear on AI by pouring over $100 billion this year into capital expenditures, with a huge portion of that money going toward building advanced AI data centers. The company designed these facilities to power AI infrastructure for both Amazon’s internal operations and enterprise clients who need cloud computing capabilities.
