A What happened
At Italian Tech Week, Jeff Bezos made a bold prediction that millions will live in space within the next couple of decades. He emphasized that this migration will primarily be motivated by human desire, rather than necessity. Bezos, who founded Blue Origin, stated that robots will take care of the labor-intensive tasks, while AI data centers will provide necessary support from above. His remarks seem to position him in competition with Elon Musk, who has long envisioned human colonization of Mars. Bezos also defended the current AI investment boom, labeling it a 'good' bubble due to its industrial nature. His optimistic outlook on the future sparked mixed reactions among the audience.
