💼 Job description
A representative of Gates' private office, Gates Ventures, said that Gates chose to speak out now because he believes there is not much time left for people to prepare for this transition. In the essay, Gates also mentioned that he will be in Washington discussing AI technology with members of Congress: "Before unemployment rises sharply, communities are devastated and public trust is eroded, you still have the chance to act now." Here are the three main takeaways from Gates' long essay: AI will soon hit white-collar and blue-collar jobs Most of Gates' essay discusses employment. Gates points out that entry-level and mid-level positions are the most likely to be replaced by AI. He believes AI will soon affect blue-collar work as well, and that the breadth and speed of its impact will make this workplace transition different from previous ones. While the shift from agriculture to office work took generations, industries such as law, customer service, software and manufacturing will feel the impact of AI within ten years. Gates writes that when AI is able to produce error-free work, "it will be able to operate independently, without human checking, and companies will have every economic incentive to let it do so." He points out that a society with far more unemployed people will need a stronger social safety net. When factories closed, many local people died of opioid overdoses, "imagine if white-collar and blue-collar workers all across the country faced similar pressure?" The importance of critical thinking Gates highlighted the risk of cyberattacks facing power grids, hospitals and banks. Fraud and surveillance will become ubiquitous. He writes that AI will also enable governments to use lethal force without humans being involved in the decision. Speaking of relationships between people, Gates stressed that AI may create an information cocoon, which could have a profound effect on children. Chatbots are addictive, can become an effortless form of companionship, and may weaken people's capacity for critical thinking. "Now is the time when humanity can least afford to lose its capacity for critical thinking," he writes, "in an era flooded with deepfakes and tailor-made disinformation, the ability to tell true from false becomes a vitally important life skill." Taxation is part of the solution Gates calls for taxing AI tokens and robots. This move could slow the pace at which companies abandon human labour. These taxes could also be used to fund the social safety net and provide retraining for those whose jobs will no longer exist. He points out that this money could make up for the decline in personal income tax revenue (if fewer people work, personal income tax revenue will shrink), thereby helping governments maintain public services. He said society should reserve some jobs for humans. Just as governments designate public land and prohibit development on it, society can also choose not to deploy AI in certain positions, either because the people in those positions are hard to retrain or because those roles require human empathy and care. He urges governments around the world to cooperate on regulation, and specifically points out that the United States and China need to work together. Gates compares this effort to global coordination and cooperation on nuclear weapons, aviation and protection of the ozone layer. Gates said his investment returns will go to the Gates Foundation, at which point AI will help accelerate the foundation's work in health care, agriculture and education.
