Bill Gates warns: Only these four professions will survive Artificial

Bill Gates believes that only four types of professions will survive in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence (AI), while Microsoft is offering voluntary severance packages to a large number of its employees.

Microsoft, which had a profit of $133.75 billion last year, a 31 percent increase from the previous year, employs more than 220,000 people worldwide. It has about 6,000 employees in the United Kingdom.

According to an internal memo published and reported by Business Insider, the voluntary severance packages will cover about 60,000 employees.

"This offer will be available to qualified employees on teams participating in the program in Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States, at level 70 and below," Microsoft said.

Amy Coleman, the company's human resources director, said:

“This is a time-limited voluntary program that offers qualified employees the opportunity to leave Microsoft with financial support and career planning resources.

"Eligible employees will receive an email with a link to the details of the voluntary redundancy offer within the next few hours."

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Labor Organization (ILO) estimate that approximately 40 to 60 percent of jobs in developed economies are at significant risk from the integration of artificial intelligence.

Which professions can survive?

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who is 70, has said that only four types of professions will be resistant to AI: programmers, biologists, energy specialists and professional athletes.

Speaking on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Gates explained that people will still want to watch sports where other people compete.

"Take baseball, for example. We don't want to see computers playing baseball," Gates said.

When asked if we will still need humans, he replied: “Not for most things – that’s for us to decide. There will be things we will keep to ourselves, but when it comes to making things, moving them and growing food, over time, these will become problems that are essentially solved.”

Elon Musk predicts one billion humanoid robots

On the other hand, Elon Musk believes that in the next decade there could be at least a billion robots that look like humans and that their productivity could exceed the productivity of all humanity.

"Everything will be very slow at first, and then it will grow at an explosive speed," the SpaceX founder said at the G20 summit in North Carolina, according to Ladbible.

"Within ten years, I would say there will be over a billion humanoid robots. The productivity of each robot will probably be five times higher than the productivity of a human," Musk declared.

These are the 40 professions most exposed to the impact of artificial intelligence

Last year, Microsoft published a list of 40 occupations that are most at risk of being impacted by AI. It's important to note that the list shows how capable AI is at performing certain difficult tasks within certain occupations, not how capable it can independently take over all the work.
