In a recent statement, Bill Gates addressed growing concerns about artificial intelligence (AI) and its long-term impact on employment. While acknowledging the massive disruption AI may bring to the global job market, Gates named three professions he believes will remain resilient: coders, energy experts, and biologists. He emphasized the importance of these roles in a world increasingly shaped by AI systems, suggesting that those entering the workforce should focus on these areas for stability and relevance.
Gates explained that although AI will be able to perform many tasks across multiple industries, it still requires human oversight, particularly in software development, managing complex energy systems, and conducting scientific research. These areas demand creative problem-solving and nuanced judgment—capabilities that AI, despite its progress, still lacks. Gates also compared the shift caused by AI to previous technological revolutions, such as the internet and the industrial age.
