Speaking with Trevor Noah on his podcast, Gates discussed the potential of AI to change work and improve lives.

He mentioned that AI might lead to less strenuous work schedules, envisioning a society where machines handle basic production tasks.

Gates, who has previously weighed the pros and cons of AI, doesn't foresee its impact being as profound as the Industrial Revolution but considers it comparable to the advent of personal computers.

He acknowledges risks such as misinformation, security threats, and job market changes, while remaining hopeful these can be addressed.
