Bill Gates, a staunch supporter of artificial intelligence (AI), envisions transformative changes within five years, despite concerns about job displacement. Reflecting on historical patterns, Gates sees AI as a catalyst for new opportunities, much like the shift from agricultural to industrial societies.

In an interview, he highlighted AI’s potential to streamline tasks, citing its efficiency in aiding doctors with paperwork. Gates praised OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4 for its dramatic improvements, envisioning its application in education and healthcare. Addressing global inequalities, Gates emphasized the Gates Foundation’s commitment to swift assistance for underprivileged regions, countering the International Monetary Fund’s less optimistic outlook on AI’s societal impact.
