Amazon founder Jeff Bezos says artificial intelligence is unlikely to make humans obsolete and instead will create more demand for workers. Speaking at technology events and in remarks reported by multiple outlets, Bezos argues that AI will increase productivity and unlock new possibilities, enabling people to build and expand into new products and tasks—leading to what he describes as a “labour shortage.” He directly rejects the framing from some other major AI figures who warn about large-scale job displacement. The Hill reports Bezos makes the case while discussing his AI startup, Prometheus, in the context of Blue Origin engineering at VivaTech in Paris. Times of India contrasts Bezos’s view with warnings from Sam Altman and Dario Amodei about a potential “job apocalypse” and notes that some recent employment data shows AI is contributing to job cuts in the United States. Despite that tension, all the sources attribute to Bezos a consistent stance: AI should be seen as creating new roles and demand for labor rather than causing mass unemployment.
