...“The company has been shutting down ways for people to talk openly and critically about AI, which is dangerous, and that’s why this letter is important. Amazon used to be a genuinely innovative place, but leadership’s AI push has meant arbitrary quotas and benchmarks that make worse products.”

2. No AI without employee input;
3. No AI for violence, surveillance, or mass deportation.
