Jeff Bezos on the Future of Work and AI
Amazon founder Jeff Bezos never fails to stir up a conversation about technology and the future. At the 2025 Italian Tech Week, Bezos tackled a hot topic: What happens when AI and robots become even more common in our workplaces? As you might expect, the billionaire had some bold ideas to share.
The One Skill Robots Can’t Copy
Bezos believes that no matter how advanced artificial intelligence gets, there’s one human skill it will never imitate: creativity. He explained that while machines can crunch numbers and analyze data at lightning speed, genuine creativity and original thinking are purely human traits. So, if your job requires imagination, innovation, or thinking outside the box, you might just be future-proof!
Let’s be honest, it’s a relief to know that robots won’t be writing the next great novel or painting a modern Mona Lisa anytime soon. (Although, if they ever do, let’s hope they have better taste than some modern art critics!)
What Does This Mean for You?
Bezos’s message is clear: if you want to thrive alongside AI, hone your creative skills. As technology takes over repetitive tasks, creative thinkers will be in high demand. So, dust off those art supplies, practice your brainstorming skills, and get ready to outsmart the bots.
