Controversial Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has rejected concerns that artificial intelligence will take human jobs.<\/p>\n

Discussing his new A.I. business known as Prometheus, the billionaire even claimed that artificial intelligence could create a \u201clabor shortage in the economy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bezos, who is co-leading the business, told The Wall Street Journal that the firm plans to create an \u201cartificial general engineer\u201d that can design and manufacture complex physical products such as a jet engine. \u200b<\/p>\n

According to him, the company\u2019s goal is to \u201cempower engineers and make an invention easier and faster, so smaller teams can do much bigger things on much shorter time cycles\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u200bBezos dismissed concerns regarding the impact of A.I., claiming that pessimism about the technology among young people is \u201cthe opposite of reality.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n

The billionaire said that the technology will mean that fewer people are needed in existing jobs, but that more opportunities will be created and productivity will increase. <\/p>\n

\u200bBezos went on to suggest that employment would even rise if A.I. makes it cheaper, easier and faster to invent things. He says that \u201ceven though you\u2019re shrinking the number of people needed by 10x,\u201d the technology will create \u201cmore than 10x\u201d as many opportunities. \u200b<\/p>\n

Bezos also claimed, \u201cThere\u2019s going to be two-earner income households where one earner drops out of the labor pool, because there\u2019s going to be so much productivity.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n

However, according to a new Reuters\/Ipsos poll, more than half of those surveyed said that they fear that they or someone in their household could lose their job because of A.I.\u200b<\/p>\n

Fifty-three percent of the 4,531 respondents held that concern, compared to 37 percent who did not. \u200b<\/p>\n
