Join 1,000+ Amazon employees & 2,000+ solidarity signers demanding a responsible rollout of AI.

I’M READY TO SIGN!

Dear Andy Jassy and S-team,

In recent years, tech leaders have accelerated their race to build the most powerful AI first. “Sink or swim,” “AI is not going anywhere,” and “work with it or be replaced” have become mantras in workspaces at Amazon and beyond. 

We, the undersigned Amazon employees, have serious concerns about this aggressive rollout during the global rise of authoritarianism and our most important years to reverse the climate crisis. We believe that the all-costs-justified, warp-speed approach to AI development will do staggering damage to democracy, to our jobs, and to the earth.

We’re the workers who develop, train, and use AI, so we have a responsibility to intervene. Here’s why we’re sounding the alarm:

All of this is daunting, but none of it is inevitable. A better future is still very much within reach, but it requires us to get real about the costs of AI and the guardrails we need.

We demand Amazon leadership commit to the following:

  1. No AI with dirty energy.
    No more vague promises that “AI will solve the climate crisis.” Amazon must implement a public plan that includes: 1) powering all data centers with 100% additional, local renewable energy, 24/7, 2) ending custom AI solutions for oil & gas companies to drill more oil faster, and 3) publishing a detailed, science-backed glidepath for how it will meet its climate commitments.

  2. No AI without employee voices.
    We want ethical AI working groups of non-managers across the company that will have significant ownership over org-level goals and how or if AI should be used in their orgs, how or if AI-related layoffs or headcount freezes are implemented, and how to mitigate or minimize the collateral effects of AI use, such as environmental impact. 

  3. No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.
    Amazon sells a huge range of products and services — from physical goods to digital infrastructure to films to medical services. It should not need to be helping surveil civilians in Gaza, collaborating with AI companies that specialize in drone warfare, or supporting a mass deportation machine.

The Amazon employees signing this letter believe in building a better world — not in building bunkers to fall back to. We want the promised gains from AI to give everyone more freedom to play and rest, to spend time with family and friends, to be moved by nature, to create, to feel safe being who we are. 

This is an incredibly consequential moment in history. It’s time for us to step up and spark a conversation about the real benefits and costs of AI. Workers have guided Amazon to a better path before, and we can do it again. The choices we make now, for the planet, for its people and animals, matter more than ever. Let’s make ones we can be proud of.

Signed,

1,039 Amazon employees (and counting!)

I'm an Amazon employee, and I co-sign this letter anonymously.

I don't work at Amazon but I support this open letter!

Frequently Asked Questions

    • Fill out our Get Involved form! We have a lot of work ahead to hold leadership accountable and we need all the help we can get. 

    • If you don’t work at Amazon, click here tosign on to a solidarity statement.

  • Your support can still help to strengthen our message to Amazon leadership. Click here to sign on anonymously to our solidarity statement.

    • Your contact info is confidential: we will not share it with Amazon or anyone else. We are asking for it so we can contact you with updates and to verify you work at Amazon.

    • When at least 1,000 employees have signed the letter, we will publish the roles and orgs of all signatories, not names.

    • We will not publish any employee names.

    • We will never share your name with Amazon or with anyone else. We will only publish job roles and orgs after we collect at least 1,000 signatures.

    • We understand why you’re scared because we are too. We have written and signed this letter not only because we are deeply worried about senior leadership driving us into a dark future but also because we see an opportunity for our actions to ripple beyond just our company. We ourselves have been looking for inspiration, trying to find everyday people fighting to resist authoritarianism and all its insidious arms, and we realized that we can’t just rely on others to inspire or save us. We have to do our part too.

    • Signing is a decision only you can make. Thank you for deeply considering.

    • We wrote this letter because we feel a deep pit in our stomachs working at this company, knowing that our leadership is actively supporting the Trump administration and exploiting workers and the planet along the way. The AI transition, the climate crisis, and descent into authoritarianism are happening right now; Jassy and Bezos have already made it clear what they’re doing about it. We have a narrow window to demand a different path before it’s too late, and those demands will only be heard if as many of us as possible sign on and speak up together. There is too much at stake.

    • After we hit at least 1,000 signatures from Amazon employees, we will publicly list all the roles and orgs of everyone who signed.

    • We will NOT publish names.

    • This letter will be fully public once it's released

  • We want to catalyze change, and we think amassing a number of signatures to a well-researched and well-publicized letter will do that in a few ways.

    • It will add a much-needed dose of reality to the larger Al conversation.  Right now, it seems like everyone is talking about AI, but the points in this letter are not being talked about enough.  We can change that. The tide is already turning, and we’re at an inflection point; the MIT study about 95% of corporate purchases of AI failing to increase profits, and the possible deflation or even bursting of the AI bubble. It’s the right moment to start a more serious, balanced conversation.  

    • If enough employees sign and this letter enters public awareness, that may force Amazon leadership to respond in some way to our demands.  

    • We want tech workers to know that they have a voice and a stake in how AI development plays out, and that their perspectives are crucial in the fight for the future.  We think the letter will encourage more conversations among tech workers at Amazon and beyond.

    • SEIU in Pennsylvania established a workers council on AI.

    • AAUP in Miami established an AI Task Force and sent out a survey asking faculty members and librarians how AI affects teaching and research—showing that AI is an issue that affects their working conditions.

    • National Nurses United created a bill of rights regarding the use of AI in healthcare, including rights to person-to-person care and for developers to demonstrate that AI tools are safe before being used to help with patient care. 

      1. And NNU has had some early victories — at USC hospitals and Kaiser Permanente — they’ve won assurances that AI won’t replace human nurses and for workers to form an oversight committee on how AI is getting used in hospitals. 

    • Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild, through sustained striking and contract negotiations, won new contracts that included some protections against GenAI being used without their consent or compensation, and more worker agency in determining how they use GenAI on the job.
