Billionaire Bill Gates is impressed with generative AI such as ChatGPT, and he isn’t shying away from its capacity to replace some jobs.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has predicted rapid developments in the capability of artificial intelligence programs, such as high-profile tool ChatGPT, will dramatically change the way people source information online, and warned white-collar job losses will inevitably result from its use.
“I think about it a lot, as I’m an adviser to Microsoft where Satya Nadella is doing a great job,” Mr Gates said.“He has made sure the company has engaged both internally and through partnerships like the one they have with OpenAI, and he draws on my thinking which goes back a long, long way. “AI isn’t, as yet, having an effect on the job market, but it will have an effect because it is always a question of what happens if you make things less expensive,” he said.He said there were obvious benefits from generative AI in the medical profession, and across other industries where a lot of information needed to be understood.
“As you make a doctor’s job more efficient [with AI tools] it doesn’t mean you need less doctors, but there are some areas where things change, for example when radial tyres were invented, people didn’t drive more, so we have less tyre factories.
