Bill Gates says that in the near future humans won’t be needed for “most things” thanks to AI, but will still be required for the purposes of entertainment.
Gates made the comments during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to promote his new book.
Fallon asked Gates whether AI was going to “take over” and what the downsides and benefits of it were.
Gates explained that “intelligence is rare,” but that artificial intelligence will start to replace great teachers and doctors over the course of the next decade.
The Microsoft founder went on to suggest that many types of jobs will be replaced and that people could only end up working two or three days a week.
“This is a bit scary, it’s completely new territory,” he added.
