The founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, made a rare public appearance at the week of Italian technology in Turin on Friday and took the opportunity to predict that millions of people will live in space “in the next two decades”, the Financial Times Reports.
Addressing John Elkann, a scion of the Agnelli dynasty of Italy, Bezos, who also founded the Blue Origin rocket company, insisted that people will live in space “mainly because they want”, and that robots will manage the growing working work, while large Centers of Data IA float above the head.
The statement looks a bit like Bezos who tries to do it his space rival. Elon Musk has spent years predicting that humans will colonize Mars and have suggested that a million people could live there by 2050, which is fast approaching. Perhaps the two gases lose contact, otherwise they know something that the rest of us refreshed Zillow.
Bezos was also optimistic about other fronts, defending the boom in AI investments as a “good” bubble since it is “industrial” rather than “financial”.
“There has never been a better time to be enthusiastic about the future,” he said, while the members of the public (in our imagination) exchanged uncertain looks through the Turin auditorium.
