Gates mentioned the idea of AI eventually developing a mind of its own and later escaping human control.

The billionaire believes labor displacement as a evident possibility, but AI is expected to increase efficiency in many fields.

Gates praised GPT4’s capabilities, the upcoming updated version of OpenAI’s language model.

The tech entrepreneur, Bill Gates, has challenged OpenAI to do things that GPT3 couldn’t, and now he is surprised by the results.

[{"selector":"#anim-3e15e92b-b124-45f8-b325-07bfa707a1bb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4549abd2-7e51-4972-9901-c0be1d0b0d40","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 142.30326%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

GPT4 managed to pass an advanced placement biology exam, Gates was impressed by this with its abilities.

Gates stressed the importance of AI being accessible to everyone and not just a select few.

The technology will impact certain jobs and enforce changes in education in the long run.

Even with concerns about the future of AI, Gates is hopeful of its potential to greatly benefit society.
