According to Bill Gates, in less than ten years, artificial intelligence advances will drastically diminish the role of humans in many traditional tasks, including education and medicine. The Microsoft co-founder recently spoke with comedian Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” describing a future in which AI technology will easily complete activities that today call for specialised human abilities, eliminating the need for people “for most things.” Expertise in disciplines like medical and education is still “rare” nowadays, according to Gates, who also noted that these industries rely on “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”

But “with AI, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace — great medical advice, great tutoring,” Gates said.

In other words, according to Bill Gates’ description of “free intelligence” in an interview with Harvard University professor and happiness expert Arthur Brooks last month, a new era of intelligence is dawning. According to Gates, the outcome will be swift advancements in AI-powered technology that are accessible and affect almost every part of our lives, from readily available AI tutors and virtual assistants to better medications and diagnosis.

The question of how exactly the majority of people will fit into an AI-powered future is still up for dispute. According to some analysts, artificial intelligence (AI) will boost economic growth and create more jobs by making human labour more efficient rather than completely replacing it. Others, such as Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, argue that further technology developments over the coming years would alter the nature of most occupations in almost every field and have a “hugely destabilising” effect on the labor force. In his 2023 book “The Coming Wave,” Suleyman stated that “these tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence.” “They will make us smarter and more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labour replacing.”

Bill Gates saw the AI revolution coming nearly a decade ago. When asked which industry he’d focus on if he had to start over from scratch, he quickly chose AI.
