Jeff Bezos Predicts We'll Have Gigawatt Data Centers in Space in 20 Years
Jeff Bezos plans to build gigawatt-scale data centers in orbit to leverage continuous solar power and meet rising AI-driven demand, potentially lowering costs within 20 years.
- At Italian Tech Week in Turin, Jeff Bezos predicted `one of the things that's going to happen in the next- it's 10 plus years, and I bet it's not more than 20 years — we're going to start building these giant gigawatt data centres in space`.
- AI and cloud computing are driving exponential growth in data centres, straining electricity and water for cooling and motivating new infrastructure approaches.
- Building on satellite precedents, Bezos noted, `These giant training clusters, those will be better built in space, because we have solar power there, 24/7. There are no clouds and no rain, no weather`, Bezos said.
- Maintenance in space remains cumbersome and costly, upgrades are limited, and rocket launches carry high failure risk; Bezos says breakthroughs in launch costs, maintenance tech, and energy transfer are crucial.
- Bezos says space-based data centres could undercut terrestrial costs within decades and frames this as part of space industrialisation, with Amazon and the Kuiper satellite network accelerating projects amid growing interest from large tech companies.
