Since ChatGPT burst onto the scene in 2022, thanks to OpenAI, artificial intelligence has flipped the script on how we live and work. Most folks still use AI chatbots like Gemini, Copilot, and DeepSeek as handy work tools, but experts worry that these systems could soon take over jobs across all kinds of industries.
Just last month, Bill Gates, who helped start Microsoft, made a bold call: he thinks AI will eventually handle most tasks humans do today. As companies everywhere jump on the AI bandwagon, the billionaire recently opened up about what he sees staying safe from automation in the years ahead.

While big names like NVIDIA’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, and Salesforce’s Marc Benioff warn that coders might be the first to see their jobs vanish, Gates has a different take. He’s betting humans will still have a key role to play, even as AI keeps evolving.
At 69, Gates argues that AI won’t push biologists out of the picture—it’ll just be a trusty sidekick for stuff like spotting diseases or decoding DNA since it can’t dream up breakthroughs on its own. He also reckons energy experts are safe, given how messy and intricate their world is for full automation.
As generative AI gets sharper daily, tons of industry heavyweights keep saying it will shake up our jobs big-time, even outsmarting us in some areas before long.
