A year later, he has now identified the three professions that will survive AI and adapt best to it. “It has the ability to let us focus on more creative and meaningful tasks. Machines will be able to take over routine tasks, such as taking notes during meetings or summarizing key conclusions,” the American entrepreneur said months ago about AI.

Recently, he highlighted the fields that will remain relevant: jobs related to biology, the energy sector, and specialized work in designing and programming AI tools. Gates previously stated that AI access will be available through ‘your phone or PC via the internet connection you already have.’
Gates warned that AI “will drastically reshape jobs” and fundamentally transform the labor market. Because of this, he sent a message—especially directed at young people—emphasizing the importance of learning about AI to gain access to better job opportunities. “It is essential.”

Two years ago, Gates made a prediction about the workweek, estimating that with the rise of AI, it would eventually shrink to just three days. “In the distant future, we will work less than we do today. If labor is freed up, we can better support the elderly. The demand for labor to do good things will still be there,” he reflected in late 2023.
