5 predictions by Bill Gates about the future of work

At the same event, Bill Gates also pointed out that with the help of Ai advancement, intelligence can become free for all. Explaining this viewpoint, Gates said, "This (AI) is a deeply profound advancement which at some point will change all activities quite a bit. The revolution that I was a part of was about-- taking computers from being very expensive to being essentially free. When I was young, whenever I heard there was a computer that was available, even at night, I would go and get access to them... They were just so scare. Now, the idea that your personal computers get used only a few hours a day-- it shows how inefficient it is."

He added, "Intelligence is scare, like brilliant doctors, brilliant engineers, even people to make support phone calls, telessales phonecalls-- we see intelligence is scare. And through AI we'll able to solve unbelievably complex problems today. Not all of them, but a lot of them-- they are already superhumans. But because they are not perfectly reliable, people are hesitating 'Where should we apply these things'. I think if rolled out properly, these things can be used for health and education, etc. Whatever the timeline if the capability and reliabiity is perfected, then you're in a world where inventing drugs, writing proposals, making telesales calls-- it's just software! That intelligence will be free. So you go from a shortage of teachers, doctors, to as much doctor expertise as you want."
