AI Will Not Take Over Programming!

Story Highlight
  • Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, thinks that AI will replace most human jobs. 
  • However, he said that humans will remain in possession of programming even a century from now. 
  • He believes that AI lacks the creativity and judgment necessary to replace human programmers. 

There has been considerable concern regarding the progress of AI, as many believe it will take their jobs, and they are right to fear. The progression of AI is occurring at an unprecedented speed, continually increasing the fear in many people. 

However, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, said that AI will replace humans, as the company recently laid off thousands of employees to focus on the former. 

Why it matters: Many companies are investing heavily in AI because they think it is the future. This is why many people are concerned that AI will take their jobs.

Microsoft recently laid off 9,000 employees in order to focus more on AI. To cut expenses, the company laid off many employees without notice and canceled highly anticipated games, such as Perfect Dark.

While Bill Gates believes that AI can replace humans for most tasks, he doesn’t think it can completely replace them, at least in one particular field. He particularly mentioned that coding will be 100% in the hands of humans.

Bill Gates has acknowledged that the rapid progress of AI is starting to alarm people, and, in his view, in the new era, humans won’t be needed for most tasks. He thinks that if AI is going to replace a job, then perhaps that job shouldn’t have existed in the first place, which is quite a controversial take.

According to Bill Gates, most jobs will be replaced by AI; however, he believes that programmers are here to stay, and AI will not be able to replace them even in 100 years. His statement will surely scare many more people, as they were already quite sceptical.
