Amazon cut jobs in its Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) team as part of a restructuring to sharpen AI focus.
The company did not disclose the number of layoffs but stated AI remains a top priority.
Two AGI teams were affected, led by Vice Presidents Adeeb Shanaa (AGI Data Services) and Vishal Sharma (AGI Information).
AGI leadership changes include the departure of Rohit Prasad and David Luan; Peter DeSantis now oversees AGI, silicon chips, and quantum computing.
These layoffs follow Amazon's larger job cuts of about 16,000 roles earlier in 2026.
