• Bill Gates says despite AI excelling at certain jobs, we will still need humans in some fields
Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT back in 2022, artificial intelligence has reshaped the way we think and do things. For the most part, AI chatbots like Gemini, Copilot, DeepSeek and others are still being used as tools for work, but professionals are concerned as AI might replace several jobs in different sectors.
Last month, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates predicted that AI would replace humans for most things, and now that the technology is being adopted by organisations worldwide, the multi-billionaire shared more insights on what he thinks will be future-proof in the upcoming years.
While several reports and tech leaders including NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff think coders will be the first ones to lose their jobs in the near future, Gates believes humans will have an important part to play in the process.
The 69-year old also noted that AI won’t be able to replace biologists, but will serve as a useful tool for roles like disease diagnosis, DNA analysis as it lacks the creativity for scientific discoveries.
Gates also said that AI won’t replace energy experts as the field is still too complex to be fully automated.
With generative AI becoming more powerful each passing day, several leaders have reiterated the fact that the technology will have a huge impact on how we work, it is surpassing human intelligence in many sectors.
