According to the publication, in a new memo, Bill Gates noted that AI could significantly change both white-collar and blue-collar jobs. In particular, he said that the changes could affect law, medicine, software, customer service, and manufacturing.

Artificial intelligence will either be the greatest fictional equalizer or the worst source of inequality

According to him, without additional measures, there could be significantly fewer new jobs than there are today. Bill Gates believes that governments need new institutions to coordinate policy in the areas of security, employment, education, taxation, and healthcare. He also proposes considering taxation of the use of AI and robots.

At the current course and speed, there is a very high likelihood of a net negative outcome

At the same time, Gates acknowledged that coordinating global action would be difficult. According to him, representatives of technology companies and laboratories are also concerned about the speed of AI development.
