Bill Gates sees the three-day workday closer than ever thanks to AI

Artificial intelligence tools are already part of the daily lives of millions of people. Progress has been accelerated in recent years, but 2024 promises to mark a new era. Bill Gates has anticipated how AI can affect the technology industry.

The effects are predictable: some jobs will disappear and others will be transformed. The founder of Microsoft assures that other industries will undergo a transformation as the use of generative AI tools becomes widespread. This is the case of the communication sector with chatbots like ChatGPT or digital art with image generation applications.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman commented on the current situation during an episode of his podcast Unconfused Me With Bill Gates. The founder of Microsoft has expressed concern that AI could take away his joba fear that more and more employees have.

Altman commented on the arrival of GPT-5, AGI superintelligence and the new features that ChatGPT will integrate with video generation.

Bill Gates has confessed during the program that at first he did not trust this system and did not expect it to be used massively. The founder of Microsoft I didn't imagine that AI-powered chatbots were so good at performing complex tasks.

Bill Gates is now considering how to use these capabilities of artificial intelligence to improve the living conditions of people and the health sector in low-income regions. The first step was the creation of the Gates Foundation.

The three-day workday is closer than ever thanks to AI

Bill Gates assured that he was studying how a three day work day. Artificial intelligence would occupy essential positions in order to streamline the most complex tasks: it is in favor of employees being efficient in their workday, not of complying with a strict schedule.

The use of AI is a way to reduce the workload, reaching in a hypothetical case a three-day workday for some sectors. Bill Gates added that These tools can be used in tasks such as food production or content generation.

AI is not without dangers and the first consequence is the future disappearance of some professions. The first workers who will notice the impact of tools like ChatGPT or Google Bard are customer service, writers, graphic designers, translators, proofreaders, and stockbrokers.

The soldiers could also disappear in a hypothetical case with the arrival of autonomous Terminator-style robots or self-directed weapons. The power of AI to control national security or allocate resources in times of war or crisis will be one of the challenges of the future.

The CEO of NVIDIA has added that coding will disappear in the coming years. Jensen Huang explained that current tools They perform this task with certain reliability, being able to develop software in less than 7 minutes.collect Windows Central. Industries that require logic, human interaction or emotions will remain: biology, education, crafts or agriculture.
