Within 10 Years, Humans Won’t Be Needed ‘for most things’ Claims Bill Gates

AI will replace many doctors and teachers—The debate over how, exactly, most humans (all the useless eaters) will fit into this AI-powered future is ongoing.

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.

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. 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 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, from improved medicines and diagnoses to widely available AI tutors and virtual assistants.

“It’s very profound and even a little bit scary — because it’s happening very quickly, and there is no upper bound,” Gates told Brooks.

The debate over how, exactly, most humans will fit into this AI-powered future is ongoing. Some experts say AI will help humans work more efficiently — rather than replacing them altogether — and spur economic growth that leads to more jobs being created.

Others, like Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, counter that continued technological advancements over the next several years will change what most jobs look like across nearly every industry, and have a “hugely destabilizing” impact on the workforce.

“These tools will only temporarily augment human intelligence,” Suleyman wrote in his book “The Coming Wave,” which was published in 2023. “They will make us smarter and more efficient for a time, and will unlock enormous amounts of economic growth, but they are fundamentally labor replacing.”

AI is both concerning and a ‘fantastic opportunity’

Gates is optimistic about the overall benefits AI can provide to humanity, like “breakthrough treatments for deadly diseases, innovative solutions for climate change, and high-quality education for everyone,” he wrote last year.

Talking to Fallon, Gates reaffirmed his belief that certain types of jobs will likely never be replaced by AI, noting that people probably don’t want to see machines playing baseball, for example.

“There will be some things we reserve for ourselves. But in terms of making things and moving things and growing food, over time those will be basically solved problems,” Gates said.

AI’s development does come with “understandable and valid” concerns, Gates wrote in a 2023 blog post. Today’s top-of-the-line AI programs are rife with errors and prone to enabling the spread of falsehoods online, for example.

But if he had to start a new business from scratch, he’d launch an “AI-centric” startup, Gates told CNBC Make It in September 2024.

“Today, somebody could raise billions of dollars for a new AI company [that’s just] a few sketch ideas,” he said, adding: “I’m encouraging young people at Microsoft, OpenAI, wherever I find them: ‘Hey, here’s the frontier.’ Because you’re taking a fresher look at this than I am, and that’s your fantastic opportunity.”

Gates predicted AI’s potential years ago

Gates saw the AI revolution coming nearly a decade ago: When asked which industry he’d focus on if he had to start over from scratch, he quickly chose AI.

“The work in artificial intelligence today is at a really profound level,” Gates said at a 2017 event at Columbia University alongside Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett. He pointed to the “profound milestone” of Google’s DeepMind AI lab creating a computer program that could defeat humans at the board game Go.

At the time, the technology was years away from ChatGPT-style generative text, powered by large language models. Yet by 2023, even Gates was surprised by the speed of AI’s development. He’d challenged OpenAI to create a model that could get a top score on a high school AP Biology exam, expecting the task to take two or three years, he wrote in his blog post.

“They finished it in just a few months,” wrote Gates. He called the achievement “the most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface [in 1980].”

Bill Gates and other culture men with crystal balls obviously know what is coming…

God bless Peter Tosh an artist way ahead of his time and murdered as a martyr…IOJ dedicates the following song “Crystal Ball” to Bill Gates, Harari, WEF and all of the culture men shaping global societies through the insight in their crystal balls.

WEF advisor Harari discussing “the massive class of useless people”

In the above discussion Yuval Harari candidly ponders what Bill Gates is likely wondering, “what do we need so many of them for” [useless people]…

The likely solution will be to give the massive class of useless people loads of free (and potentially lethal) drugs and video games, because food and commodities will be manufactured without labor.

The world is a labor camp now, that is true, and it sucks.

The law of vibration and rhythm - nothing ever stays still or stays the same, everything changes.

The next phase of humanity is encroaching upon us rapidly. AI is going to take most of our jobs, but do we really want to labor and toil? Maybe.

What if AI farms were the only holders of knowledge in 100 years on farming because literally no one farms and everyone is on drugs and video games plugged into the matrix- humanity would be very vulnerable, but it looks like we are already quite vulnerable. The AI system is NOT sentient.. its a model.

To master our reality and our future, we need to be aware that the law of polarity applies.

Depending on how we look at it, the AI revolution will either empower you or disempower you. The way it affects society in mass will depend on how the individuals at the forefront now use it. Anything is both good and bad, positive and negative. Our job as stewards of the human spark of divinity is to outshine the dark forces trying to take us down. Useless thinkers will always think, but useful thinkers will also think and the result of those thoughts is either high vibe or low vibe.

We are going to pray for humanity to do a LOT of focusing on the positive. We will need to focus on how these inevitable technological changes can individually assist in each persons unfoldment, because these next few years will test us all. No one is useless - except those who would benefit off of the current labor camp at humanities expense (we mean the “elite” bankers and banker shills - if you did not catch on).

AI can be used to help us document, track and help prosecute wrongdoers… Just saying!
