Bill Gates Predicts AI Will Take Over Most Jobs

Since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT in 2022, the artificial intelligence has greatly changed the way we think and act. Though AI-powered chatbots such as Gemini, Copilot, and DeepSeek are mostly used as workplace tools, fears remain about the possibility of job displacement in different industries.

In February, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates had forecast that AI would soon overtake most of the jobs humans do. Today, as more organizations worldwide implement AI in their operations, the billionaire has again opened up about which careers he thinks will still be safe in the future.

While reports from industry leaders such as NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff suggest that coders could be among the first to lose their jobs to AI, Gates holds a different perspective. He asserts that human involvement will remain crucial in the evolving landscape.

At 69, Gates also insisted that AI won't displace biologists but will rather be a useful tool for such work as disease diagnosis and DNA sequencing. He thinks that AI doesn't have the creativity to make revolutionary scientific breakthroughs. Likewise, he noted that energy experts won't be displaced, since the industry is still too complex to be fully automated.

As generative AI keeps growing at a lightning speed, various business leaders have underscored the fact that the technology will deeply impact the workplace and even exceed human intelligence in some areas.
