The one who was one of the founders of Microsoft is clear about this. Artificial intelligence will end almost every industry. This is the opinion of Bill Gates, who believes that we will have to adapt to new circumstances in the future, even if he grants “salvation” to three sectors in the meantime.
He obviously doesn’t have to be right. After all, this is yet another of the many near-catastrophic opinions that we have read in recent years since the rise of generative AI. However, Gates’ relevance in the tech industry compels us to at least listen to him.
Jobs “immune to AI” according to Bill Gates
Bill Gates has been talking about artificial intelligence for years, but with more passion and impact in recent years. A few months ago, through his blog, he talked about How generative artificial intelligence would change the world and jobs. And for this, he cited three sectors which, according to him, could remain “immune” against these advances.
In other words, anyone who works there doesn’t need to worry about advances in AI technologies. Gates says these models have enormous potential that will allow us to “work fewer hours and focus on more creative tasks.” This leads him to think that the vast majority of sectors could be affected, since “machines will be able to take on routine and repetitive tasks” such as taking minutes of meetings or summarizing them.
Among the companies classified as immune, there is a very obvious one, closely related to Apple and one of its key niches: programming
Although the message seems dire, there is no sign of majority unemployment due to AI.
He also cites two other sectors as energy and biology. Although he doesn’t see many job opportunities for them, he doesn’t think it’s because AI can replace them, but rather because of a lack of supply. Things are changing when it comes to energy, a sector that has boomed in recent years and is emerging as the key to society’s future, whether it’s getting around or getting energy sources that consume less resources than current ones.
Either way, as we said at the beginning, Gates may not be right. In fact, recent events suggest that, If it happens, it won’t be quick. What is always advisable is to learn about artificial intelligence and if it can be applied to your current job sector, the better.
