Bezos Predicts AI Jobs

Jeff Bezos told the VivaTech conference in Paris that artificial intelligence will create labor shortages rather than mass unemployment, rejecting fears that the technology will make human workers redundant. The Amazon founder argued that AI will unlock “an endless set of things to invent” and increase demand for people who can turn new ideas into reality. His remarks cast the AI boom as a catalyst for economic expansion and new job creation, not a force that eliminates broad swaths of the workforce. The comments add a high-profile optimistic counterpoint to warnings from technologists, economists and workers about AI-driven disruption.
