Years ago, I led a National Academy of Medicine report chapter, where I called for the emphasis on what Computers and Humans are each especially good at. But..., what belongs in each column may need some rethinking. nam.edu/wp-content/u...

I was disappointed that Gates would make such a general comment. Job displacement and disruption are very credible, but naive to think that will leave most humans with nothing to do. This isn't a new story. John Maynard Keynes in 1930 predicted we'd all be down to 15-hour work weeks because

Bill Gates: Within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won't be needed 'for most things'

A new era of "free intelligence" powered by AI will change the way humans work, says billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.

In our studies (mentioned in this article with great collaborators @adamrodmanmd.bsky.social and Arjun Manrai), we surprisingly found that AI alone is outperforming Human+AI on many complex reasoning tasks.

In a recent interview, Bill Gates said that within 10 years, AI will replace many doctors and teachers—humans won’t be needed ‘for most things’.

Is it just time to retire? What makes someone a worthy clinician or any kind of human professional?
