Bezos wants to buy up factories and run them with AI

Jeff Bezos is currently raising $100 billion for a new fund.

His goal: buy up manufacturing plants and squeeze out profits through automation.

Thirty years ago, he did this with retail by creating Amazon. Now, it’s the same logic for factories.

⚙️ How it works

Bezos isn’t going to sell AI software to factories like many other companies do. He wants to own the factories himself. Buy them, deploy robots and AI, cut costs, and capture the margin.

To do this, he already has a $30 billion startup called Project Prometheus. It develops AI for the physical world: design, simulations, and production management.
