Founder Microsoftua technological visionary Bill Gates appeared on a popular American talk show The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallonewhere is theonesl made some interesting statements about the future of humanity, work, and artificial intelligence. His words are now circulating on the internet, and as you know, GatesSometimes even this can cause strong reactions.
Gates He came up with a bold vision of a world where access to expertise – in healthcare and education, for example – would be commonplace and free. Thanks to AI. “The era we’re just entering is an era of rare intelligence. A great doctor, a great teacher… And with AI, it’s going to be free in the next decade. Common, you know? Great medical advice, great tutoring,” he said Gates. He says AI could solve long-term problems, such as the shortage of doctors or therapists. But his comments hit two fundamental problems. The first problem is that things like the shortage of experts are not a matter of unavailability of know-how, but of long-term underfunding.ancThe second is that current AI is simply not yet capable of such tasks. nestIt is – and maybe it never will be.
An example would be Google Gemini, which ranks above the results of traditional websites in searches, but still often generates inaccurate and misleading answers. In addition, in the field of healthcare, algorithms still show a significant degree of bias – for example, towards women or minorities, which can beoneconsequently deepen existing health inequalities.
Gates In the interview, he also opened up the topic of the future of work and the possibility of shorter working hours thanks to the efficiency of AI. “Should we only work two or three days a week? I like how it drives innovation forward, but it’s uncharted territory,” he thought Gates out loud. When asked by Fallon whether humans will still be needed in the future, he replied bluntly: “Not for most things.” While the idea of shorter working hours is appealing—a pilot program in the UK has shown that a four-day workweek can lead to higher job satisfaction without sacrificing productivity—in practice, most people have yet to find concrete uses for current AI to make their jobs easier. Instead, AI is often replacing creative jobs that people would love to do if they had more free time.
During the conversation Gates also mentioned the environmental impacts of AI development. Massive training of models is extremely demanding in terms of water and energy consumption. Companies like Microsoft, which are trying to maintain an ecological profile, have repeatedly failed to meet climate goals because of AI. In addition, AI companies have faced accusations of copyright infringement - for example, Meta was accused of using pirated content to train AI, as well as models that were trained on stolen artwork. Gates sononec added that: "AI is bringing so much change. The question is whether we can manage it properly. It's new and a little scary territory."
Nothing new. The Slovaks wanted to introduce this here years ago. Fortunately, they didn't succeed...
Our messengeranceven in National Treason they are long in the future, they "work" maxat least 1 day a week.
and he doesn't have to work at all anymore
"Companies like Microsoft"...which are trying to maintain an ecological profile are repeatedly failing to meet climate goals because of AI."
So it's either meeting climate goals or developing new technologies. Personally, I'm for the latter...
Of course, carpenters, electricians, bricklayers and tradesmen in general will simply continue to work and support those who only work two days a week...
strange and I thought that when I gave the electrician the job and paid him and he was happy and thanked me, I was supporting him... not him supporting me, even though I don't actually have to work at all anymore. But I guess it's like you write...
