Artificial intelligence is already rewriting the rules of the job market. According to forecasts, automation could destroy 85 million jobs worldwide by 2030, but at the same time create even more new ones.
But, according to Bill Gates, there is one area that will remain irreplaceable even after a century — programming.
Artificial intelligence is already rewriting the rules of the job market. According to forecasts, automation could destroy 85 million jobs worldwide by 2030, but at the same time create even more new ones.
But, according to Bill Gates, there is one area that will remain irreplaceable even after a century — programming.
His arguments, writes The Valley Vanguard, are as follows:
AI can write simple code or quickly fix bugs.
But the real work of a programmer is solving complex problems, being creative, and creating something new.
It requires intuition, logic, and imagination. Machines are not yet able to replicate this.
«Moments of enlightenment — when a decision comes suddenly — are a purely human thing,» Gates believes.
In addition to programmers, Gates names areas where human judgment is needed:
biotechnology,
energy,
complex scientific research.
Automation will help here, but it will not replace humans.
Administrative tasks or part of the design are already being transferred to AI. This does not always mean reductions, but it definitely means — changing the work format.
Gates advises treating artificial intelligence not as a competitor, but as a partner: use it for routine tasks, but develop your unique «human» skills — critical thinking, creativity, intuition.
«Some things just can’t be coded. Not now. And not in a hundred years,» Gates says.
