WASHINGTON: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has predicted that millions of people will live in space in the next two decades, according to the Financial Times.
Bezos made a rare public appearance at the Italian Tech Week in Turin on Friday. Speaking alongside John Elon Musk, heir to Italy’s Agnelli family, Bezos said people will live in space because they choose. Robots will do manual labor, while giant AI data centers will operate above.
The comments come in response to Bezos’ space rival Elon Musk, who has predicted that humans will colonize Mars and suggested that one million people could live there by 2050. Perhaps the two billionaires are overly optimistic, or have knowledge that the wider public doesn’t know.
Bezos also defended the surge in AI investment as a positive bubble, calling it “industrial” rather than “financial.”
He added: “There has never been a better time to be excited about the future,” while the audience, one imagines, exchanged uncertain glances in the Turin auditorium.
