Bill Gates Says Humans Won’t Be Needed for ‘Most Things’ in the AI Age

If you are already concerned about employment safety, the founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates, could have bad news for you. In A recent interview With Jimmy Fallon, Gates said that humans will not be necessary for “most things” at the next AI.

“There will be certain things that we reserve for ourselves,” said Gates. “But in terms of making things and moving things and cultivating food, over time, they will be essentially solved problems.” In particular, Gates highlighted health care, mental health professions and teaching as particularly ripe for disturbances, saying that “a great doctor” or a “great teacher” will go from rare to “banal”.

However, Gates highlighted certain career paths that could be sure.

“We don’t want to watch computers play baseball,” Gates told Fallon.

The predictions of gates occur because many Americans are already worried about the impact of AI on their work; until 86% of American employees Fear that many people lose their jobs against AI and automation, according to Forrester’s research.

But whatever the predictions of the doors, many people still seem reluctant to allow AI to get involved in certain industries such as health care. A study in 2023 of the Pew Research Center revealed that 60% of Americans had a negative reaction to the idea that health professionals use AI to diagnose diseases, with 33% saying that this would lead to lower results.

However, Gates has solid history with regard to AI predictions. In 2023, he underlined the rise of AI agents, saying: “Agents will be able to help almost all activities and any field of life.” A few years later, the greatest players of everyone in AI – like Nvidia, Anthropic, the Chatgpt Openai firm and even Microsoft itself – are all deployed agents of AI and praising them like the next great thing.

Although he did not approach this during the prime time segment with Fallon, Gates also praised much darker predictions on the future of AI beyond the roles of work. In a seven-page letter published in 2023, Gates said that powerful AIS “will probably be able to establish their own objectives”, asking: “What happens if they are conflict with the interests of humanity?”

Gates has also immersed himself in future AI risks in an interview with PCMAG earlier this year, saying that “we are moning our human strengths and weaknesses on all the new tools we get, AI is the most frightening.”

The founder of Microsoft also discussed the potential environmental risks of artificial intelligence and stressed how other revolutionary inventions, such as printing, were used for bad and goods.
