Jeff Bezos Highlights AI’s Role in Manufacturing and Space at VivaTech Paris

Paris, France – At the VivaTech conference in Paris, Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon and Blue Origin, addressed global leaders on the future of artificial intelligence, manufacturing, and space exploration.

Bezos stated that artificial intelligence will not replace workers but will instead create a labor shortage by driving higher demand for skilled labor and new forms of production. “AI is going to create a labor shortage,” he said, dismissing concerns over widespread job losses.

He also highlighted two key ventures shaping this future:

1. *Blue Origin* – Bezos’s aerospace company continues to advance reusable rocket technology to compete with SpaceX, with the goal of making space travel reliable and cost-effective.
2. *Prometheus* – An AI startup focused on accelerating manufacturing. Prometheus aims to streamline production processes, reduce costs, and increase precision, making it easier to turn ideas into physical products at scale.

On the long-term vision, Bezos explained that cheaper and more reliable space access will enable materials to be sourced from asteroids, near-Earth objects, and the moon. “If space travel gets reliable enough and inexpensive enough, and we can get materials from asteroids and near-Earth objects and the moon, then this garden planet can be returned to its pre-Industrial Revolution state,” Bezos said.

The remarks underscore a broader strategy linking AI-driven manufacturing with off-world resource utilization to expand economic capacity while reducing Earth’s industrial footprint.

Zimbabwe–Belarus Ties Soar as Brest Engagements Cement Strategic Partnership

Zimbabwe and Belarus have reaffirmed their deepening bilateral ties following a series of high-level engagements in the Brest Region, culminating in a strong show of diplomacy, business cooperation, and cultural exchange.

Honourable Deputy Minister of Women Affairs, Community and Small and Medium Enterprises Development, Kiven Mutimbanyoka representing the Minister Honourable Monica Mutsvangwa, held a strategic bilateral meeting with Brest Regional Executive Committee Chairman, Petr Parkhomchik. The discussions underscored shared priorities of industrial growth, job creation, and inclusive economic development, with Zimbabwe’s MSME-driven transformation agenda receiving strong commendation.

The engagement builds on the momentum of the State Visit by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zimbabwe Dr Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa to Belarus in May 2025, which resulted in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding and the Cooperation Roadmap for 2026–2030. Both sides committed to operationalising these agreements through a structured implementation framework to ensure tangible and measurable outcomes.

Hon. Mutimbanyoka, accompanied by Ambassador Ignatius Graham Mudzimba, also toured industrial exhibition centres showcasing advanced Belarusian manufacturing, particularly in agricultural mechanisation. Engagements with industry players highlighted opportunities for technology transfer, joint ventures, and the establishment of local assembly plants in Zimbabwe—initiatives expected to boost productivity, create jobs, and strengthen SME capacity.

The delegation also visited the Brest Hero-Fortress Memorial Complex, symbolising shared values of resilience, sovereignty, and national pride, and toured cultural sites that demonstrated how heritage, tourism, and community enterprises can drive rural industrialisation and economic inclusion.

The engagements in Brest not only reinforced diplomatic ties but also demonstrated a shared commitment to translating policy into action, positioning both countries for enhanced collaboration in industrial development, MSME growth, and cultural exchange.
