Jeff Bozos 'I don't see how anybody can be discouraged who is alive right now' [View all]

The future is looking bright, at least according to Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.

Fortune reported on Bezos' speech at Italian Tech Week 2025, where he shared his vision of the future — one that includes living in space and a lack of commutes.

Included among Bezos' predictions is the expectation that by 2045, robots will commute to work for us. More significant than that, though, is his prediction that within the next decade or two, millions will be enjoying life in space.

Bezos also shared his disbelief with those who predict the downfall of civilization due to AI and technological advances. AI, however, is already responsible for people losing jobs, and the data centers required to power the technology consume a massive amount of natural resources. Considering these factors, it's easy to see how people can predict doom and gloom with AI's continued use.
