Amazon announced plans Tuesday to expand its technology<\/a> hub in the Boston area, creating some 3,000 jobs in the next few years.<\/p>\n

The Boston hub will add teams working on the Alexa digital assistant, robotics, Amazon Pharmacy and the giant’s web services unit.<\/p>\n

The company, which already employs some 3,700 people in the Boston area, has leased a new 17-story office tower which is part of the Boston Seaport project. <\/p>\n

Set for completion in 2024, the complex will include a community dog park, retail space and a new performing arts center.<\/p>\n

Rohit Prasad, vice president and head scientist for Alexa at Amazon, said the new hub will expand research and development for the artificial intelligence system.<\/p>\n

“Much of the technology that makes Alexa smarter every day is invented in Boston,” Prasad said.<\/p>\n

“Our teams here play a key role in driving Amazon’s innovations.”<\/p>\n

Amazon’s workforce has been surging in recent years and includes some 800,000 in the United States, as the company expands its e-commerce, web services, streaming and other projects while at the same time drawing heightened scrutiny from antitrust enforcers.\n <\/p>\n\n
