Jeff bezos cautioned that current excitement surrounding artificial intelligence resembles a bubble, while simultaneously predicting the technology will deliver “gigantic” benefits to society.The Amazon founder and Blue Origin executive chairman made the remarks during a public appearance on October 3, 2025, at the National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles.
Despite acknowledging the speculative fervor, Bezos believes AI’s long-term impact will be transformative, comparable to the advent of the internet.This assessment arrives as investment in AI continues at a rapid pace, with companies across sectors vying for dominance in the field. The debate over whether AI is overhyped-and perhaps facing a correction-is intensifying among tech leaders and investors, even as development accelerates.
“There’s a lot of hype right now,” Bezos stated, “and it’s not the first time we’ve seen that with a realy powerful new technology.” He drew parallels to the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, suggesting a period of inflated valuations might potentially be underway.though,Bezos emphasized that the underlying technology itself is fundamentally sound and poised to reshape industries.
Bezos did not offer a specific timeline for when the “gigantic” benefits of AI will materialize, but indicated that the technology’s potential extends far beyond current applications. He highlighted areas like scientific discovery, healthcare, and space exploration as potential beneficiaries of AI-driven advancements.
