Bill Gates believes that doctors, like teachers, are likely to be replaced by generative AI within 10 years. More broadly, the entrepreneur believes that AI will be able to replace humans in practically everything. However, he cites a few professions that are well positioned to resist.
Will there still be room for humans in the workplace of tomorrow? According to Bill Gates, major changes are on the horizon. According to him, AI is set to replace virtually everyone in almost every task as broad language models become more sophisticated. The Microsoft co-founder believes two professions are particularly threatened in the immediate future.
Doctors and teachers, he believes, only have about ten years before they are largely replaced by artificial intelligence. A prospect he considers rather positive, since it could finally democratize access to medicine and education in developing countries. The only ones Even those with real expertise who can resist for a little longer are professionals.
Bill Gates remains optimistic about the place of humans in a world transformed by AI
At least until models trained on ever-larger data sets supplant this type of skill. He also explained in another interview with a Harvard professor that we are entering the era of “free intelligence”. A period where AI-based tools will become increasingly accessible to the greatest number of people everywhere – enabling major progress.
He believes that AI will not completely replace professionals in most cases; instead, it positions itself as a valuable aid that allows for fewer errors and can accomplish a much larger amount of work. His observation, however, implies that in the near future, most sectors could resort to less labor.
A risk that could increase with the emergence of robotics. However, there are three professions that are likely to remain essentially human for the long term. According to him, these are energy experts, biologists, and – and this is more surprising – developers. While AI is slowly gaining ground in Much like a helper for code, Bill Gates believes that humans remain essential for spotting and correcting errors.
As for energy experts, the entrepreneur believes the subject remains too complex to be automated by AI. It remains to be seen whether the advent of general AI in the coming years will tarnish this tech legend's optimism about the place humans will have tomorrow.
