    Bill Gates believes only these three jobs will survive AI taking over workplaces

    And I, for one, will welcome our new AI overlords

    Bill Gates had a rather bleak prediction for the future as AI continues to change the way the world works.

    In case you somehow have missed the latest technological advancements, the increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence has gotten some workers feeling a bit nervous.

    And while it might not exactly be like the dystopian futures seen in popular sci-fi films, it could still be a less than ideal situation for us mere mortals as AI advances, at least, according to billionaire Bill Gates.

    The tech mogul has reportedly warned that many jobs will simply become obsolete as the technology becomes more ingrained in society.

    But Gates has been pretty confident that there are three jobs which AI will keep its hands off.

    Wonderful for them, but at least there are interesting reasons as to why their jobs aren’t under threat like the rest of us.

    Coders

    While AI can generate code, at this point, it is far from perfect. People will need to be able to monitor it, fix mistakes and bugs as well as design even more advanced systems.

    So we have AI needing people to... build and monitor more AI. Kind of poetic in a way.

    Energy experts

    Gates has also alluded to the energy sector being too complex for AI to realistically handle at this stage.

    The oil, nuclear and renewable energy sectors require strategy and too much expertise to have a fully automated industry.

    Engineers, researchers, and technicians are expected to still be needed to manage infrastructure, understand industry challenges, and innovate for the future.

    Biologists

    When it comes to biologists, while AI can be used as a tool (like it already is) in the medical industry, the technology lacks the necessary creativity for scientific discovery.

    So, in the meantime experts will likely just use it for analyzing heaps of data and diagnosing diseases.

    Gates has admitted he certainly could be wrong but the way this ever-advancing technology is used will likely reshape everyday life in similar ways the industrial revolution and the internet did in the past.

    And if by some miracle AI doesn’t become a mainstay, we can all claim we knew it was never going to take off and was just a fad.
