"We still need those software engineers as we are not going to stop needing them," the Microsoft founder added. On the question that AI can replace all jobs, Bill Gates responded in abstract manner and laid out how wonderful the technology will be for old people or handicapped people.
He also mentioned that the AI technology has the potential to alter and dismantle "the very organising principles of society and what we value."But he gave a timeline and said that he doesn't see it happening for the next 20 years. "Although I am not sure of that," Bill Gates said with a smile.
