Amazon's billionaire founder and former CEO has, who is the fourth richest person in the world, remained bullish about the impact of AI on the golden job market, and he thinks people are "wrong" to assume the worst.

He told the Financial Times: "The people who are jumping to the conclusion that the jobs are all going to go away... I think these people are just wrong.

“We’re in the middle of multiple golden ages right now, certainly with AI.

"But I think it’s true of space also, and other areas like biotech...I think you’re going to see a whole bunch of incredible miracles unfold here in the next decade.”

Bezos' new company Prometheus is aiming to revolutionise manufacturing and engineering with AI.

He noted that all his projects nowadays "have something to do with AI".

The new firm wants to build an "artificial general engineer", which is essentially services and software with the ability to automate the design and building of complex physical systems.

Bezos said his own Blue Origin spacecraft "is a perfect example of a company that would be greatly benefited" from Prometheus.

There are major concerns around the world about the already real impact AI has on human jobs.

However, the tech mogul has argued that artificial intelligence will result in a labour shortage, and in turn new jobs.

He added: "At root, all civilisational wealth is driven by invention. Six thousand years ago, somebody invented the plough, and we all got wealthier."
