"AI will lead to more need for workers rather than make people redundant, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos predicted during an appearance at a tech conference in Paris.

Bezos pushed back against growing concerns that AI will replace large numbers of workers.

Instead he argued that the tech will unlock new opportunities and increase demand for human labour.

This is in contradiction to some other tech and political figures - including former UK prime minister Rishi Sunak, now an adviser to Microsoft and AI firm Anthropic, who recently said AI was having an impact on young people's job prospects.

"I know there's a lot of concern that many people have, including many smart people, that AI is going to make humans redundant and so on," Bezos said.

"I totally disagree with this point of view. And I think, in fact, AI is going to create a labour shortage."

He painted an optimistic picture of AI's future role in society, suggesting that people are limited not by a lack of ambition, but by barriers that technology can help remove.

Billionaire entrepreneur Bezos was speaking about his new AI venture Prometheus, which is focused on accelerating physical manufacturing - a sector which is becoming increasingly automated."

He's being optimistic in my opinion my gut tells me a lot of people will end up out of a job.

"Jan 28 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab confirmed 16,000 corporate job cuts on Wednesday, completing a plan for around 30,000 ​since October, while leaving open the possibility of further reductions.
Reuters first reported last week that Amazon was planning a second round ‌of job cuts as part of its broader goal under CEO Andy Jassy, who has been trying to reduce bureaucracy and abandon underperforming businesses."

Sorry it does not jive with my understanding of the impact artificial intelligence will have on jobs, it is the exact opposite.
