The billionaire also addressed concerns over the environmental cost of AI, particularly the large amounts of water and energy required by data centres.
Arguing that society must take a long-term view, Bezos said certain resources may need to be prioritised for AI infrastructure if the technology is to fulfil its potential.
“Biological limits are real, but digital potential is infinite. If we starve our data infrastructure of cooling resources just to sustain baseline human comfort, we are actively delaying the birth of a super-intelligence that could solve all of our resource problems in the first place,” he said.

AI summary, WhatsApp widget, some kind of quick cash ad… this site is cancer
Even when I right click -> view in private window, the link still works. You using Amazon’s internet infrastructure or something?
Even a private window gives me that login. You should add some sources to that because I have only found 2 web sites with that piece of news, and both are AI puke without any content.
In Luigi Mangione we trust.
Fact check: Did Jeff Bezos say human use of water is slowing down AI? Here is what we found
He is being slammed for the purported words, but the truth is that Bezos did not say any of this. The unedited clip from the event proves that the words are wrongly being attributed to Bezos. We went through the live stream of the VivaTech event posted by Associated Press and did not come across the contentious words. Other people on the internet also wrote similar posts, saying that Bezos did not make any such statement. The billionaire talked about his space company, Blue Origin and his industrial AI startup, Prometheus. However, he did not talk about the use of water for data centres.
They don’t link to the Associated Press’s stream of the event, and I can’t find it, but maybe someone else will have better luck.
Another check shows that the fake news originated from a Reddit thread, which has now deleted the post. Examining the statement on Gemini also revealed that it is incorrect. “This quote is entirely fake, though it recently circulated on platforms like Reddit, Hacker News, and X (formerly Twitter) wrapped in a convincing, manufactured screenshot,” the AI tool responded when asked about the authenticity of the statement.
Thank you for putting in the work. If your ever in my area I’ll buy you a coffee
So the article is AI hallucination?
You looking for this?
There are enough legitimate reasons to criticize AI bros without making shit up. These kinds of bs posts just distract from the problems AI is causing. Real question, why did you post this? Are you gullible, lazy, or malicious?
Selfish meatbags with their expensive tastes for clean air and drinking water
Its a disinformation campaign targeting specific people.
