Bill Gates warns AI to replace most jobs within decade

Bill Gates has warned that advances in artificial intelligence (AI) could render humans unnecessary for most tasks within the next decade, a shift he describes as entering an era of 'free intelligence.' In a conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Gates stated that AI will provide great medical advice and tutoring that is currently rare and human-dependent. While some experts believe AI will enhance human productivity, others, including Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, argue it will fundamentally replace many jobs and destabilize industries. Gates acknowledges the rapid pace of AI development as both profound and concerning, noting that while certain jobs will remain human-centric, many tasks in areas like medicine and education will be automated. He remains optimistic about AI's potential to drive breakthroughs in healthcare and education, suggesting that innovation in this field represents a significant opportunity for future generations. However, he also recognizes the fears surrounding job displacement and misinformation as AI technologies evolve.
