Artificial intelligence and all its boom and potential has not gone unnoticed by the great figure of Bill Gates, who, in his latest Gates Notes blog, has praised the AI chatbot ChatGPT and said it inspired him to think about how the artificial intelligence could revolutionize the world in the next five to ten years.
“In my life, I have seen two technology demonstrations that I found revolutionary, the first time was in 1980 when I was introduced to a graphical user interface, the forerunner of all modern operating systems including Windows and the second time was OpenAI and its model GPT,” he explains.
as you used to dothe co-founder of Microsoft has stated on his blog that AI is as revolutionary as mobile phones and the Internet.
“The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet and the mobile phone. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care and communicate with each other. Entire industries will reorient around it. Companies will distinguish themselves by how well they use it,” he adds. Bill Gates.
“AI will help empower people at work, save lives and improve education”
The philanthropist believes that AI could reduce some of the world’s worst inequalities. Giving an example from the United States, he said that education acts as the best opportunity to reduce inequality, but it needs to improve.
He supported black, Latino, and low-income students, who are relatively more disadvantaged, and said that With AI, the current downward trend seen in the education sector could be reversed.
He also suggested the use of this technology to combat climate injustice. Gates argues that the world’s poorest and those who have contributed the least to the problem of climate change suffer the most.
While he is certain of the results that AI would produce in reversing trends of climate injustice with its help, Gates affirms that it is necessary to explore its potential.
Maintains that humans are still better than GPT at many things, but in many places its capabilities go unused.
He claims that tools like GPT capability or chatbots like ChatGPT are some of the ways artificial intelligence can improve work efficiency. He believes that despite not being feasible at present, everything is a matter of time.
In summary, I am excited about the impact that AI will have on the issues that the Gates Foundation works on, and the foundation will have much more to say about artificial intelligence in the coming months.
