Bill Gates on the Transformative Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Our Lives

Bill Gates is very outspoken about his passion for artificial intelligence and mentioned in an interview how it will change our lives within now and a few years. It is known that the onset of AI has caused some fuss and fear among people. They worry that AI will affect the job market as it might cause millions of people to lose their jobs. This is also claimed in an International Monetary Fund report. The report shows that AI would have an impact on 40% of jobs worldwide. Bill Gates has a different view on this matter and believes that new technology also comes along with new opportunities. He explained that just as with the evolution of agriculture, innovation created new job categories and new opportunities in the industry.

He expressed enthusiasm about the significant advancements in OpenAI's ChatGPT-4, describing them as "dramatic." According to him, the model's capabilities allow it to essentially read and write, functioning almost like a white-collar worker. This versatility enables it to serve as a tutor, offer health advice, assist in coding, and provide support in technical queries. 

He highlighted the potential benefits of integrating this technology into the fields of education and medicine, deeming it "fantastic."

It's worth noting that Microsoft has a substantial multibillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI, and Bill Gates continues to be one of Microsoft's major shareholders.
