Jeff Bezos says ‘millions of people’ will be living in space by 2045—and robots will commute on our behalf to the moon
Billionaires and tech CEOs have shared two distinct views on humanity’s future when it comes to AI: Some think it’ll wipe out all jobs and spell the end of civilization as we know it, while others hope it could lead to a utopian world—and Jeff Bezos is firmly in the latter category.
TL;DR
- Jeff Bezos predicts millions will live in space by 2045, with robots handling commutes.
- He believes technological inventions lead to 'civilizational abundance,' countering fears about AI's impact on jobs.
- Sam Altman and Elon Musk also foresee humans living and working in space in the coming decades.
- Dylan Taylor anticipates humans living and working on the moon and in space by the early 2030s.
- Bill Gates, however, suggests focusing on Earth's problems rather than space exploration, though he sees potential for AI to create a work-life balance with a two-day work week.
