Jeff Bezos BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Jeff Bezos has surged back into the global spotlight this week with a series of visionary, headline-grabbing statements while making a rare public appearance at Italian Tech Week in Turin. Speaking alongside Ferrari and Stellantis chairman John Elkann, Bezos predicted that “millions of people could be living in space within the next few decades,” but not because they have to—because they will want to. He envisions a future where robots handle much of the manual work in orbit, and humans choose the stars voluntarily, a vision that places him at odds with Elon Musk’s focus on Mars colonization, turning the billionaire space race into a debate about ambition versus practicality.One of his most provocative ideas is the potential construction of gigawatt-scale data centers in space within the next ten to twenty years. Drawing an analogy to how satellites already transformed life on Earth, Bezos anticipates orbital data centers powered 24/7 by the sun, which could one day outperform terrestrial facilities. According to Bezos, the endless solar energy and absence of weather disruptions will give these orbital clusters a decisive edge, saying, “These giant training clusters, those will be better built in space, because we have solar power there, 24/7—no clouds, no rain, no weather.”His remarks on artificial intelligence have also made headlines. He candidly acknowledged the current AI boom is a “bubble,” but insisted it is an “industrial bubble”—not a financial one to be feared. He compared it to the 1990s biotech boom, where most companies failed but the survivors changed the world. “It may seem reckless, but something lasting is being built underneath,” he said. “The technology is real. The long-term impact of AI is already locked in.” Bezos predicted AI will ripple through every company and sector, a remarkable endorsement with the potential to shape investment and innovation strategies worldwide.On the business advice front, Bezos told young entrepreneurs that real-world experience is crucial. At Italian Tech Week, he advised Gen Z to work for great companies and learn fundamentals before launching a startup, noting that his own decade of traditional employment before founding Amazon “actually improved the odds that Amazon would succeed,” echoing this advice across interviews with Fortune and The Indian Express.Social media has been buzzing with clips and hot takes from these appearances. His belief in bringing “truth-telling culture” to Amazon and his advice to young people to “go work at McDonald’s” for character-building have both trended, sparking debate on Twitter and Instagram. His prediction that “millions will choose to live in space” has generated both excitement and eye rolls—with comments ranging from awe to sharp skepticism.No confirmed business moves, acquisitions, or regulatory drama for Bezos have emerged in the past week, nor has there been public disclosure of new Blue Origin milestones, though his fusion of tech, space, and AI rhetoric is clearly keeping him in the global leadership conversation and spurring discussion of his long-term impact. For now, Jeff Bezos seems intent on pushing the boundaries of possibility—and making sure the world is watching.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
