In a bold vision for the future, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos announced plans to build gigawatt-scale data centers in space within the next 10 to 20 years, leveraging the continuous solar energy available there. This, he claims, could make them more efficient than their Earth-bound counterparts.

Bezos shared these predictions at the Italian Tech Week in Turin, where he also highlighted the parallels between the current surge in artificial intelligence and the internet boom of the early 2000s. He urged optimism despite the potential for speculative bubbles within the sector.

The prospect of off-planet data centers could revolutionize the technology industry by dramatically shifting how companies store and manage data, with the potential for considerable environmental benefits.
