Fast Technology reported on April 5 that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates shared interesting insights on how AI is impacting work.

Bill Gates stated that we were not born to work. Work is a product of the era of scarcity, and all of it is based on creating human intelligence to provide broad services.In Gates' envisioned future, the AI revolution will complete a deep transformation of traditional industries in less than ten years. Especially in healthcare and education, AI systems will take on more than 80% of routine diagnostics, drug development, and knowledge delivery tasks.

Through precise algorithm optimization and 24/7 continuous operation, AI not only significantly enhances service efficiency but may also fundamentally change the underlying logic of how humans access healthcare and educational services.

Bill Gates recently also mentioned three professions that won't be replaced by AI. The first is programmers. Although AI programming tools like GitHub Copilot can already generate 30% of basic code, complex system architecture design still requires human engineers to oversee the big picture. In the face of software engineering with millions of lines of code, the creative problem-solving and boundary-breaking abilities of programmers remain a technical high ground that AI finds hard to reach.The second is energy experts. The energy sector is vast and complex.

 Although AI can assist with analysis and improving efficiency, human expertise remains irreplaceable in decision-making and crisis management.The last is biologists, or life explorers. While AI can analyze large amounts of data and assist in diagnosing diseases, biologists rely on creativity, intuition, and critical thinking in medical research and scientific discovery—qualities that are hard for AI to replicate.
