In the inaugural episode of Nikhil Kamath’s new podcast series “People by WTF,” Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates discussed the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on industries, with a focus on software engineering. Gates highlighted AI’s ability to enhance productivity and revolutionize education, but reassured that it is unlikely to replace software engineers in the near future.
Gates emphasized AI’s potential to create educational tutors and improve job efficiency, citing projects in both India and the US demonstrating positive outcomes. Addressing concerns about job displacement in the tech sector, he dismissed fears about AI replacing software engineers as “alarmist.” Gates added that while AI might eventually reach a point where it could replace all jobs, this is not expected within the next two decades.
