• Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that AI would eliminate many human jobs — and create new ones.
• Humans won't be necessary for "the jobs that we've thrown human beings at for the last 20 or 30 years," he said on CNBC.
• Jassy responded to a question about layoffs at Block, which he said he hadn't "really digested."

Is the AI job-pocalypse here? Amazon's CEO doesn't think so.

White-collar workers are worried.
