On October 3, 2025, during the Italy Tech Week event, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, expressed his view that artificial intelligence (AI) is presently going through an 'industry bubble' phase. This phase is marked by a divergence between stock prices and the core business fundamentals of companies. Moreover, there's an intense market fervor, where it seems almost every concept can attract investment. However, Bezos also stressed that AI technology is genuine and dependable. He believes it will revolutionize every industry, delivering substantial advantages to society. Drawing a parallel, he used the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry bubble of the 1990s as an illustration. He noted that although numerous companies collapsed during that period, the bubble actually accelerated the development of several life - saving drugs. This indicates that industry bubbles can potentially have positive effects.
