AI

Jeff Bezos is preparing one of the biggest industrial bets of the decade. $100 billion. A fund to acquire manufacturing companies and transform them with AI. According to the Wall Street Journal, Bezos has already met with sovereign wealth funds in the Middle East and Singapore to raise this colossal amount. Targeted sectors: semiconductors, defense, aerospace. The project is called "Project Prometheus" — a startup of which Bezos is co-CEO, dedicated to applying generative AI to engineering and industrial production. It has already raised $6.2 billion by end of 2025. And on the board? David Limp, the CEO of Blue Origin. What you need to understand: – So far, the AI race has been playing out in software. Chatbots, image generation, code. – Bezos just moved the playing field into the physical world. – We're talking about reinventing how we manufacture chips, aircraft, cars. With AI as the engine. AI won't just change what we see on our screens. It will change what we build with our hands. And Bezos just put $100 billion on this conviction.
