Jeff Bezos isn't worried about the AI bubble: "the good ideas will pay for all of the losers"

Jeff Bezos said the AI boom may be a bubble, but he believes the strongest ideas and infrastructure will outlast the failures.

In a CNBC interview, he compared today’s AI surge with past speculative booms such as biotech and railroads.

He argued that even if many projects fail, the winners will still drive long-term progress and justify the spending.

Bezos also highlighted Project Prometheus, a $6.2 billion AI startup focused on engineering and manufacturing use cases.
