Gates on the future of AI
Gates believes that future AI giants will create personal digital agents that can perform specific tasks on behalf of people.
“Whoever gets a private agent, that’s a big deal because you’re never going to a search site, you’re never going to a productivity site, you’re never going to Amazon,” he said.
Many believe that they are giants of technology, Google Gates said the AI game-changer has a 50-50 chance that the startup will be the future winner.
“I would be disappointed if Microsoft didn’t get in there,” Gates said of the company he co-founded with Paul Allen in 1975. “But we are impressed with some startups, including Inflection.”
That’s not the only thing Gates talked about at the Goldman Sachs and SV Angel event. He also touched on:
-

Advances in disease treatment: Despite the complexity of the human brain still baffling scientists, Gates is optimistic about humanity’s progress in developing drugs to treat diseases like Alzheimer’s. He suggested that human trials of these new drugs could begin within the next decade.
-
