Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, predicts that AI would replace humans for most things. And yes, he might be completely right considering that artificial intelligence is taking over faster than anyone has ever predicted or imagined.
Naturally, this makes many nervous and worried for their jobs, fearing they could be replaced by AI.
A recent study shows that 54% of banking jobs can be automated using AI. Singapore’s major bank DBS was among the first banks to announce the possible cut of nearly 4,000 job roles in the next three years due to AI takeover of those positions.
According to Bill Gates, despite the wide adoption of AI by a number of organizations and business, three professions would stand the test of time.
Those professions are coders, energy experts, and biologists.
This prediction is quite opposite than that of other experts, including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang who has recently warned young people to make careful considerations before pursuing a career in the software field.
Salesforce‘s CEO Marc Benioff said his company is “seriously debating” hiring software engineers in 2025.
Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI advised young people to “master AI tools” the same way his generation mastered coding since AI would eventually replace software engineers.
Gates on the other hand is convinced that human coders would still be needed in order to identify and correct errors, refine algorithms and support AI’s development.
Further, while the tech-billionaire acknowledges that AI can be very helpful in biology, especially in diagnosing diseases and analyzing DNA, AI isn’t creative, a trait essential for scientific research and discovering new things in the field.
What’s more, Gates states that energy professionals would not likely be replaced by AI because the field is too complex to be fully automated.
