Jeff Bezos said the idea of putting data centers in space is plausible, but not in the near-term future. Speaking to CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin on Wednesday, the billionaire said orbital data centers are a "very realistic" development as artificial intelligence fuels an unprecedented demand for computing power and electricity. Still, Bezos pushed back against predictions that fully operational space-based infrastructure could arrive within the next two or three years.
