June 15Jun 15 https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/bezos-bats-down-ai-job-loss-fears-while-launching-new-venture-d1e6fb09Despite Silicon Valley's enthusiasm for AI's promise, the broader population has become wary, fearing widespread job losses.Some of the pessimism about AI among young people is "the opposite of reality," Bezos said. AI will mean fewer workers are needed in jobs that exist today, but it will also create far more opportunities and increase productivity, he said.Bezos argued that if AI makes it cheaper, faster and easier to invent things, employment will ultimately rise because, "even though you're shrinking the number of people needed by 10x," the technology will create "more than 10x" as many opportunities."There's going to be two-earner income households where one earner drops out of the labor pool, because there's going to be so much productivity," he said.

Yet the next frontier — AI that operates directly in the physical world — is only now gaining serious momentum, with much lower but rapidly rising valuations.What Is Physical AI?Physical AI (also called embodied or industrial AI) doesn’t just process digital information. It interacts with and optimizes the real, physical world.These systems help:Design complex mechanical components;Control and optimize manufacturing processes;Improve robotics and automation on factory floors;Accelerate prototyping and engineering workflows.Its primary customers are large industrial players: automakers, electronics contract manufacturers (like Foxconn), aerospace companies, and heavy industry.Instead of chatting with users, Physical AI helps build better cars, planes, electronics, and even pharmaceuticals faster and more efficiently.Companies leading this space include Figure (valued at around $39 billion) and Physical Intelligence (around $11 billion). For context, these figures are still modest compared to generative AI leaders, reflecting that the market is still in its early stages.The Core Challenge: The Data ProblemTraining powerful Physical AI models requires vast amounts of high-quality data from real-world manufacturing and engineering environments. However, factories and industrial companies treat their processes as highly sensitive trade secrets. They are reluctant — or outright unwilling — to share detailed operational data.As a result, most Physical AI companies rely heavily on simulations. While useful, simulations can never fully capture the complexity, variability, and edge cases of real production environments. This creates a fundamental limitation: models trained mostly in simulation often struggle when deployed in the messy reality of actual factories.Prometheus: Jeff Bezos’ Bold Bet on Vertical IntegrationThis is where Prometheus (also known as Project Prometheus) enters the picture. Founded by Jeff Bezos (who serves as co-CEO alongside Vik Bajaj, formerly of Verily), the startup is taking a radically different approach.Instead of relying solely on simulations or waiting for factories to voluntarily share data, Prometheus is reportedly building its own industrial holding company structure. By acquiring or partnering deeply with real manufacturing and engineering operations, the company gains direct, proprietary access to high-quality, real-world data from actual production processes.This strategy creates a powerful data moat that is extremely difficult for competitors to replicate without years of capital-intensive investment and industrial relationships. It’s essentially “hacking” the data bottleneck by vertically integrating into the physical economy itself.The results have been striking: Prometheus has seen explosive growth, with its valuation reportedly increasing sixfold in just five months.In June 2026, the company raised $12 billion in a round that valued it at $41 billion — one of the largest and fastest-growing AI startups in the physical domain.Prometheus aims to build what it calls an “artificial general engineer” — AI systems capable of dramatically accelerating the design, engineering, and manufacturing of complex physical products, from jet engines and spacecraft to automobiles, computers, and medical devices.

Već sada u neki DeepL možeš da ubaciš i komplikovane tekstove i dobiješ odlične prevode, pitanje je trenutka kada ćeš moći da staviš neki gedžet na glavu ili rever od košulje i odeš u neku Mongoliju da opušteno komuniciraš sa svima na koje naiđeš.
