Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos spoke at Italian Tech Week in Turin and made a resounding announcement: in the coming decades, millions of people will be living in space. According to the businessman, this will happen «mostly because they want to» and robots will take over the hard work while giant data centers with artificial intelligence hover above them.”
Amazon and Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos spoke at Italian Tech Week in Turin and made a big announcement: millions of people will be living in space within the next decade.
The idea comes amid a long-running rivalry with Ilon Musk, who predicts Mars will be colonized and a million people could live there by 2050. Bezos’s speech looks like an attempt to propose an alternative future — and perhaps surpass his rival in the space race.

Besides the topic of space exploration, Bezos also spoke out about artificial intelligence. He called the current investment boom in AI «the right bubble» because it is «industrial, not financial» in nature.
«There has never been a better time to be optimistic about the future», — the billionaire said, although according to the Financial Times, the public took it with a certain amount of skepticism.
