While the likes of Elon Musk are running around and screaming at the hilltops about the coming Artificial Intelligence apocalypse, Bill Gates believes A.I. will actually make our lives much better. “Think of all the time we spend manually organizing and performing mundane activities, from scheduling meetings to paying the bills,” Gates writes in the foreword for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella’s new book, “Hit Refresh.” Gates’ view is shared by some very smart engineers in Silicon Valley, including his friend and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Artificial Intelligence will likely make millions of jobs obsolete but will allow for new human-enabled endeavors.
