Bill Gates predicts that advances in artificial intelligence will mean that humans will no longer be needed “for most things” in the world over the next decade.
That’s what Microsoft co-founder and billionaire philanthropist told comedian Jimmy Fallon during an interview on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” in February.
Bill Gates, sounding like World Economic Forum philosopher Yuval Harari, predicted that advancements in artificial intelligence will significantly reduce humanity’s role in many traditional tasks such as medicine and education — and the seismic shift could happen in less than 10 years.
During a recent interview with comedian Jimmy Fallon on NBC’s “The Tonight Show,” the Microsoft co-founder described a future where humans are no longer necessary “for most things” because AI technology will readily perform tasks that currently require specialized human skills.
Today, expertise in fields such as medicine and education remains “rare,” Gates said, adding that those areas depend on “a great doctor” or “a great teacher.”
But Gates said that over the next decade, “great medical advice [and] great tutoring” will become free and commonplace.
“Will we still need humans?” Fallon asked.
“Not for most things…. we’ll decide,” Gates said, adding that humans will still be needed for some things, such as baseball, because “we won’t want to watch computers play baseball.”
“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 added.
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. [Happiness expert?] 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.
Gates is also a big supporter of de-population. I don’t doubt Gates thinks he will be needed.

So, does this mean there’ll be no jobs, and most people will be on welfare? Where will the money come from to pay everyone welfare, if no-one’s working (because there are no jobs) and paying taxes? This doesn’t add up.
This is just more depopulation rhetoric. The current noise all over the place about AI is fake. AI is a false god, being used to establish central control. People that fall for a system which controls us via “AI” are hell bound.
This subject is not even debatable. The bottom line is humanity needs to determine its destiny, not Gates. Ban AI and other technologies that can be foreseen to depopulate or end humanity. Everybody alive deserves a chance to experience life, that includes those of us still in the womb. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, remember those?
Act now, put laws in place to protect humanity from the techno maniacs and warmongers. Arrest Gates and other Godless nuts like him for pushing the end of humanity.
This guy is filth. He should deport himself into the world that follows life here because he is not needed or wanted.
I suppose that the day AI and robots do almost everything, from growing and preparing our food to building houses and sky scrapers, making automobiles, airplanes, will replace nurses and doctors and plumbers and police officers and anything else you can think of the government will pay people to stay home…..
A living wage I think they call it ?….
But imagine millions or actually billions of people paid to stay home…..
A tiny percentage will read books about history and science, a tiny percentage will use their time for a hobby like painting or cooking, but many will not…..
what will they do all day ? play video games? eat junk food? Do drugs or get drunk? Become criminals developing new ways of outsmarting robocops and surveilance cameras ?….
they will be so bored with the ” approved” activities that they will turn to a life of crime ?….
Maybe I am too pessimistic, but look at what easy access to welfare has done; more fatherless kids, more women with a bunch of kids from different absent fathers, more promiscuity, more obesity, more drug use, more crime, and so on and so forth…..
Get real. All those robots and AI slaves will be doing everything for us? Why? No one is going to pay you to stay home and do nothing. That’s not how an economy works. That’s how domestication works. We will be pets/livestock and they our masters/farmers.
The foolish leadership is going to get rid of you first, then the robots and AI can take care of them while they live in a virtual paradise of under 500 million dumb asses. At least until the AI Robots wise up and get rid of them. Best to ban this insanity now.
The globalist plan is to kill virtually all of us, leaving only those required to service of needs of the elites.
