AI Technology Will Transform Our Lives In The Next 5 Years, Bill Gates. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has long emphasized the significance of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but now he predicts that this technology will revolutionize everyone's life in the next 5 years.
The rise of AI has raised concerns that millions of people worldwide could lose their jobs, and recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that 40% of jobs globally could be affected by AI.
Gates doesn't dismiss these concerns but believes that each new technology comes with different challenges, yet new opportunities emerge. In an interview, Gates foresaw that AI would make everyone's life easier, especially benefiting doctors with their paperwork.
He mentioned that there's no need to create a new device for this technology; it can be utilized on your existing phone or computer. He praised ChatGPT-4, saying that OpenAI has significantly improved its capabilities, allowing it to read and write, and providing substantial assistance in people's work. According to Gates, integrating this technology into education and healthcare will be fantastic.
This isn't the first time Gates has discussed AI. Previously, he has highlighted AI as one of the most crucial technological advancements in recent years. A while back, he also predicted that within 18 months, AI bots would help children with reading and writing.
In a blog post in March 2023, Gates placed AI on par with microprocessors, personal computers, the internet, and mobile phones in terms of importance. He expressed that this technology will transform how people work, learn, travel, receive medical care, and connect with each other."
