Bill Gates predicted the future of artificial intelligence 15 years ago

15 years ago, Microsoft co-founder had a somewhat strange prediction at the time, but extremely accurate: Here will rely heavily on artificial intelligence in activities.

AI helps revive the economy

Now, well-known business tycoon and humanitarian activist shows that: although there are some popular views that artificial intelligence can upset and replace the workforce, however , he sees this technology as an opportunity for economic revival.

Bill Gates, currently attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, responded to FOX Business correspondent Maria Bartiromo: 'People will operate more efficiently using resources. Of course, you are well aware of what is going on as the rise of artificial intelligence '.

Bill Gates said that AI is and will do a lot more effective than people and help us have more free time than before. Besides, he said: 'Now AI is very cheap: Computers can see and hear as well as humans.'

With the use of AI, labor productivity can double. This means that managers will use less labor. However, that does not mean there will be fewer jobs for people.

Bill Gates noted, increasing production levels may have many implications. Longer holidays for workers, and position redirection to focus on helping the elderly, working with children with special needs and reducing class division.

While enthusiastic about the prospect of the inevitable AI era, philanthropist Bill Gates, who has done charity with an estimated total value of about 90 billion USD, thinks that society should soon adapt to new circumstances. .

With artificial intelligence, Amazon does not need a cashier

Amazon go - Amazon's cashier shop.

Instead of worrying about losing his job due to the inevitable prospect, Bill Gates judged in a positive way: Employees still have positions in the social apparatus.

Mr. Bill Gates said: It is possible to supplement workers with positions such as 'special environment' monitoring staff - including prisons, factories, courts or operating rooms. At the same time, we can copy events that happen to the computer so we can record what's going on. If there are safety violations, such as an employee in the construction site without wearing a helmet, or using inefficient resources, then artificial intelligence can help the whole system change in a positive direction. pole.

American billionaires happily commented: For AI, what people need is to sit behind the counter or cashier pants.

Mr. Bill Gates' joke does not take place in the distant future but is present now. Typically, companies including Amazon are experimenting with technology that can completely eliminate the role of cashiers. They built an AI store to keep track of what customers took off the shelves and automatically deduct the card money when they left the store without the cashier's support or had to scan each item's barcode. line.
