Bill Gates said what he thinks of ChatGPT: “Artificial intelligence will change the job market”

While Bill Gates left the Microsoft board in 2014, is still tied to the company he founded nearly 50 years ago. And one of the areas where his interest is concentrated is artificial intelligence.

So it’s no surprise that last year I met with the co-founder and president of OpenAI, Greg Brockmanwhose flagship product is ChatGPT and which recently announced a heavy investment from Microsoft and this week demonstrated its Bing search engine.

This became known through an interview with Forbes’ Alex Konrad, where the mogul revealed it your interest in artificial intelligence it dates back to his early days of learning software.

“It’s always been very interesting to me,” he said, stating that he was “fascinated by how many more inventions we would need before AI is really smart, in the sense of passing tests and being able to write fluently.”

And when these machine learning techniques started showing results, particularly in the fields of speech and image recognition, he was intrigued by the number of inventions needed before be a promise, that is, being able to pass tests and write fluently.

While AI is nowhere near driving, say, a major scientific invention, the sixth richest man in the world recalls that we are seeing too significant progress in that field and such a scenario could be possible “within the next 5 or 10 years”.

In the speech he talked about where OpenAI occupies in the current scale of innovation and the progress that can be expected from ChatGPT in A near future.

“I’m not saying they are the only ones. In fact, part of what’s surprising is that there will be so many attendees in this space. But what OpenAI has done is very, very impressive, and they’re certainly leading in many ways and people are seeing that through the wide availability of ChatGPT.

In the interview, he was asked about the historical moment that AI currently occupies and how it compares to other milestones that occurred in the past century.

“It’s pretty amazing that what I’m seeing in AI in just the last 12 months is as important as the PC, the PC with the GUI, or the internet. This is one of the four most important milestones in digital technology.”

Artificial intelligence challenges

There has been a lot of talk lately about the possibilities of ChatGPT, which can generate articles, compose recipes, and even respond to instructions. All of this can come influence the world of work or the way of working, or even how it will be taught in the future.

“Most futurists who have observed the advent of AI have said that repetitive manual and physical jobs would be the first jobs to be affected by AI. And that’s definitely happening, and people shouldn’t let their guard down, but it’s a little slower than I expected,” Gates said.

According to Gates, there are some areas of work where more significant results are observed than others and where advances in AI will have a greater social impact.

“Autonomous driving presents particular challenges, but factory robotization will still happen in the next 5-10 years. But what is surprising is that tasks involving fluent reading and writing, such as summarizing a complex set of documents or writing something in the style of an existing author, are made possible by these large language models.
