Amazon is enhancing its delivery systems using generative AI to optimize routes, improve warehouse robots, and stock inventory more effectively. AI-powered warehouse robots, such as the autonomous Proteus units and the Robin robotic arms, have contributed to higher efficiency and reduced strain on human workers. However, there are concerns about AI’s energy consumption and the potential for workforce displacement.
