Jeff Bezos told Fox News that AI could let workers earn enough to support families by working only three days a week.
He added that productivity gains of double‑digit percentages might reshape the labor market, sparking debate over how firms will adjust.
In the same interview, Bezos reflected on Amazon’s recent round of layoffs, noting the company had cut roughly 30,000 corporate jobs. He described Amazon as being in a "very special position" because it had significantly expanded its workforce during the COVID‑19 pandemic.
At Prometheus, the AI startup he co‑founded, Bezos outlined plans to develop an "artificial general engineer" that would enable anyone to transform ideas into physical products.
Beyond business, he urged the United States to beat China in a 2028 moon landing, framing space exploration as another arena where AI and innovation must collide.
The tech community is watching closely as AI‑driven productivity could force employers to rethink hiring, with the next wave of job decisions expected in the fourth quarter.
