He said it in the early days, he repeated it a few days ago on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show:according to Bill Gates in less than a decade humanity will be able to work just two days a week. Thanks, of course, to artificial intelligence.
At the current pace of innovation, Microsoft's father predicts that humans will no longer be needed "for most things", and therefore it will soon be necessary to rethink the very concept of work.
School and Healthcare in IA
According to Gates health care and teaching professions will be the ones to transform the fastest. "Artificial intelligence, in the next decade, will become free, commonplace: what we're looking at is great medical consultations and great AI-generated education," the founder of Microsoft (a company that just happens to be 50 years old on 4 April) told Fallon.
The potential of AI in fighting disease
.Promoting his new autobiographical book 'Source Code', Gates also emphasised the great potential of artificial intelligence in the fight against diseases such as Alzheimer's, malaria and HIV.
In the past, even Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, had pointed out that artificial intelligence is bound to make work less of a priority, possibly leading to a three-and-a-half-day working week.
