Bezos says ‘industrial bubble’ in AI could benefit society

Jeff Bezos compares AI investment frenzy to past tech bubbles, highlighting potential short-term losses but emphasizing long-term societal gains and transformative industry impact.

  • Speaking on Friday at Italian Tech Week in Turin, Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and chairman, said "This is a kind of industrial bubble" and continued, "This is real," adding that the benefits to society from AI will be gigantic.
  • Bezos drew parallels to earlier tech manias, comparing AI’s current hype to the 1990s biotech boom and dot‑com bubble of the early 2000s, which produced transformative advances despite investor losses.
  • Recalling Amazon's dot‑com crash, Jeff Bezos said, `Investors don't usually give a team of six people a couple billion dollars with no product... and that's happening today.`
  • Market signals show both risk and demand, as Jeff Bezos warned a drawdown may occur in the next 12-24 months while BlackRock's Global Infrastructure Partners nears a $40 billion Aligned Data Centers deal.
  • OpenAI's $500 billion secondary valuation shows scale, as Sam Altman, Joe Tsai, Ray Dalio, Thomas Siebel, and David Solomon warn of a bubble while capital flows into chipmakers, cloud platforms, and data centre operators.
