Bill Gates has detailed an unnerving warning about the future of artificial intelligence, or more commonly known as AI.

With advancements in technology and the rise in AI, there is a mixture of excitement but also nerves as to where AI could be in say 20 years time.

Many famous figures have spoken about AI, as people like Elon Musk are already using it within his businesses.

Microsoft founder Gates is a figure who has been less enthusiastic about developments in AI, and has previously discussed his concerns.

Speaking on the Jimmy Fallon Show on Tuesday (February 4), the 69-year-old said: "The era that we're just starting is that intelligence is rare, you know, a great doctor, a great teacher. And with AI, over the next decade, that will become free and commonplace. Great medical advice, great tutoring."

Gates added: "And it's profound because it solves all these specific problems, like we don't have enough doctors or mental health professionals, but it brings with it so much change."

The traditional 9-5, five days a week has been a thing in the US for as long as anyone can remember, but Gates has raised the prospect it may all change because of AI.

But surely that's a good thing? I mean, I'm not complaining about a three-day weekend.

Gates added: "Should we just work two or three days a week? So I love the way it'll drive innovation forward, but I think it's a little bit unknown if we'll be able to shape it.

"Legitimately, people are like 'wow, this is a bit scary'. It's completely new territory."

Gates has previously explained in an interview with Dax Shepard on the Armchair Expert podcast, where he said AI won’t magically solve problems that humans aren’t already good at.

The Microsoft founder explained how he uses AI himself and said: "I'm using it all the time and saying, 'Okay, no, it's not good enough for this — but wow, it is good enough for that.'

“If it's a problem that humans are not good at dealing with, then present techniques don't create some novel approach."

The tech mogul also argued that many AI programs can get things wrong.

"It doesn't know to check its answers," he said.

"A Sudoku puzzle, you have to do a lot of recursive reasoning and it doesn't know to take extra time."

How do you feel about a future with AI?
