Turin: Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has projected that within the next 10 to 20 years, space-based data centres capable of generating gigawatt-scale power will be constructed, potentially surpassing Earth-bound facilities in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Speaking at the Italian Tech Week in Turin, Bezos highlighted the advantages of orbital data centres, including uninterrupted solar energy availability and minimal weather-related disruptions.

Bezos compared the anticipated surge in artificial intelligence to the early 2000s internet boom, emphasizing the need for scalable infrastructure to support this growth. He noted that the increasing demand for electricity and water to cool terrestrial data centres is unsustainable, making space-based solutions a viable alternative.
