More than 1,000 Amazon employees have signed an open letter expressing “serious concerns” about AI development at the company.
They have also called for “ethical AI working groups”, giving employees a voice in how emerging technologies are used across various roles.
The internal advocacy group, Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, published on Wednesday the job titles of the Amazon employees who signed and revealed that over 2,400 supporters from other organizations, including Google and Apple, have also joined the effort.
Backers within Amazon include high-ranking engineers, senior product leaders, marketing managers, and warehouse staff across multiple divisions of the company.
