    1. From the article

      Over the next decade, advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world, says [Bill Gates](https://www.cnbc.com/bill-gates/).

      That’s what the Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC’s [“The Tonight Show” in February](https://www.nbc.com/the-tonight-show/video/bill-gates-joked-with-steve-jobs-about-taking-the-wrong-lsd-talks-ai-and-optimism-for-the-future/NBCE109189964). At the moment, expertise remains “rare,” Gates explained, pointing to human specialists we still rely on in many fields, including “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”

      But “with AI, over the next decade, that will become free, commonplace — great medical advice, great tutoring,” Gates said.

      In other words, the world is entering a new era of what Gates called “free intelligence” in an [interview last month](https://www.harvardmagazine.com/2025/02/harvard-bill-gates-ai-and-innovation) with Harvard University professor and happiness expert Arthur Brooks. The result will be rapid advances in AI-powered technologies that are accessible and touch nearly every aspect of our lives, [Gates has said](https://www.gatesnotes.com/The-Age-of-AI-Has-Begun), from improved medicines and diagnoses to widely available [AI tutors](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/15/bill-gates-ai-tutors-will-be-like-a-great-high-school-teacher.html) and [virtual assistants](https://www.cnbc.com/2023/11/16/bill-gates-ai-agents-could-change-how-we-live-our-lives.html).

    2. Be looking for Microsoft to make some major AI announcements and pump their stock.

    3. Even if they are great tutors, and excellent at giving advice on how to improve, are the AIs also going to supervise? Go on field trips? Run extra curricular sports, etc? They might be great additions to the educational landscape (might being the keyword) but I doubt they’ll entirely replace us.

      What good is a great AI tutor if all the jobs you would get tutored for are being done by AI?

    5. Man, Bill Gates is really good at wording things so that grifters can easily use out of context.

    6. If people didn’t fucking suck, this would be great. We could spend our time making art and seeing beautiful places while working the bare minimum and being paid enough to enjoy ourselves while robots do the real work. Instead, AI will take jobs, and people are gonna have trouble feeding and housing themselves. 

      Very cool.

    7. NEW_SPECIES_OF_FECES on

      I could see medical AI reviewing charts, taking a history from a patient, and even ordering labs/imaging/diagnostics. I could see it also interpreting those diagnostics and recommending treatments. **But I feel like all of that would still have to be signed off by a real doctor.**

      How would physical exam be performed? Prob by a real doctor.

      And procedures? I have a hard time believing AI is going to be doing procedures anytime soon. This is the biggest thing that gives me a sense of job security. That and the human element is crucial to medicine.

      “Think of how great it’ll be after we’re all freed from menial and unfulfilling labor we can be painters, poets, philosophers, and sculptors!”

      “Oh fuck AI took all the artsy fartsy jobs too? Well just be happy to be party to your own demise like I’ve been.”

    9. Ahh yah, nobody will know how to be an expert in anything because computers will be running everything.

      This is just a dumb take (probably taken out of context) – and it is dangerous too. The promise should be that doctors will be able to do more not that they will be replaced by robots.

    10. Like our overlords will allow us access to free intelligence.

      After all, it is a sin to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.

    11. What a stupid claim.

      Has he learned nothing over the last 5 years?

      People don’t even trust their own local news stations anymore. You think they’re gonna trust AI to tech their kids and diagnose their health issues?

      I think we’re going to see an interesting niche where markets emerge that push the use of costumer-facing real humans and organic ideas as a marketing tactic. Everyone else uses fake shit – so choose us we still employ real people.

    12. Was he threatening this from his space base before demanding 100 trillion dollars from the world’s governments?

      Gates has actively been trying to replace teachers long before AI came along

    14. tauhuay_siu_dai on

      This is when they realise they do not need so many humans consuming resources and start culling us with T800s.

    15. Humans will need income to provide revenue for companies using AI, if AI takes all the jobs it starves itself to death.

    16. I wonder how much the half-life of facts would impact on these systems, it’s also fully ignoring how much info professions such as doctors get from looking at how a patient behaves to figure out a problem that the patient is either hiding or is unaware was related to something.

      I know that in my field of IT, just how a room feels can lead me to suspect something is up in a server room.

    17. MandatoryFunEscapee on

      And, in this imaginary world of his, „superfluous“ people will be left to starve. The vast majority of people will just willingly accept that they are no longer needed, and explain to their children, with bellies distended from hunger, that this is what is best for „society.“

      The people will certainly not feel the need to rise up, put every fucking billionaire to the sword, and take back he automation that *our class* built, to at last serve to the benefit of mankind, and no longer for the benefit of the few who stole everything they ever had from us in the first place.

      Seriously, Bill is a moron.

      I have to add, maybe 10 years is a dumb prediction, but the day is coming when we have machines and AI capable of replacing most human labor. Capitalism is not compatible with such automation. This new age calls for new systems of economic distribution.

      And the capitalists will never go for that. They will shut millions of people at a time out of the economy, and force politicians to play dumb, like the problem is so insurmountable.

      The answer is to eliminate billionaires, and probably max out wealth accumulation in the $100M range. The earth can’t survive their destructive hybrid, and soon, neither will we. Workers must own the means of production, and that includes automated systems.

      Why do people on Reddit have this idea that we would be able to restructure the entire planet at the same time so that nobody would have to work

    19. odin_the_wiggler on

      This sentiment makes much of what’s currently happening in the world make sense.

    20. Good. The doctors in Canada are bad. They don’t listen and just push you through the system. Especially dermatologists. Back to Botox where the real money is at.

      > humans won’t be needed

      You mean like CEOs, Bill? Imagine how easy it would be to replace one dude whose whole job is approving other people’s proposals and taking credit for other people’s work.

      It’s so great how all these rich douchebags keep getting press coverage for talking about us losing the humanity from the jobs that matter most to us while their pile of gold keeps growing from the bottom up while they sit on top looking down at us with their toothy grins.

      We all know damn good and well that these privileged shitbirds are never going to go to an AI doctor or send their kids to a school to learn from a machine.

    22. Anyone who uses AI in a professional setting knows it’s not going to replace those types of jobs for multiple decades if really ever at all 100%. It’s an assistant, not replacement. I worry the AI bubble burst will lead to a lost decade if anything.

    23. People will be needed to moderate and review what a.i is dishing out. cars will have camera’s inside and out and people will be moderating.

    24. Humans do not learn without human relationships. AI can do corrections and feedback. Learners need to feel something for learning to happen.

      And we have the ability to make sure everyone can live a good life but those with the „most“ always seem to fall. They always start out with the best intentions but 99% that are successful in rising to the top start viewing things very differently and instead do everything they can to enhance themselves while the rest of the cattle is shitted on. Really sucks seeing people that you looked up to growing up just completely flip the script….

    26. Angelandrew1 on

      Excellent. This gives me plenty of time to troll others on social media…

    27. „Humans won’t be needed, ‚for most things‘ “ tells you all you need to know. 

    28. Well, I guess AI will have to buy most of the garbage this new economy will produce…

    29. ConvenienceStoreDiet on

      Nobody wants this. People are using AI to fix unbroken problems and it’s frustrating.

      >humans won’t be needed

      Sound like its time for another pandemic. A real one this time.

    31. MikePritchettPaints on

      The good news us that Bill Gates doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He’s good at stealing other companies‘ IP and violating anti trust laws. That’s his skill set. He’s talking out of his depth and his opinions on this topic don’t mean shit, even tho journalists keep on publishing them.

    32. Putrid-Emotion-7892 on

      These billionaire“people“ been so rich for so long they’re out of touch on reality.
