“Artificial intelligence will likely replace doctors, teachers and more professionals within the decade, according to Bill Gates.
While sharing his vision for the future of artificial intelligence (AI) on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last month, the Microsoft co-founder — who is one of the world’s most famous businessmen and philanthropists — said that soon, humans won’t be needed “for most things.””
At one point in his appearance on late-night comedy (loosely defined) hawking his book, Gates makes the previously reported admission that, back in the Microsoft heyday, for the sake of productivity, he stalked his employees by memorizing their license plate numbers and inspecting the parking lot daily to ascertain when they came and went from work — an insight into how he views his employees, and all of humanity by extension: resources to be farmed to their maximum extent.
