Bill Gates claims three professions will remain indispensable (for now) but "AI will replace humans for most things" eventually

Microsoft's co-founder believes only coders, energy specialists, and biologists will survive AI's hostile takeover.

Generative AI is reshaping the world by essentially automating redundant and repetitive tasks to give professionals ample time to focus on more important things. But on the back of that, there's a rising concern among professionals that this technology will eventually take over their jobs.

For instance, a study revealed that 54% of banking jobs can be automated using AI. It's unclear if the banking sector will embrace the change, especially with the critical privacy and security issues riddling AI.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently predicted that AI would replace humans for most things. However, the philanthropic billionaire indicated that it'd be mostly up to humans how they interact with AI, choosing what to preserve for themselves. He jokingly indicated that no one would like to watch computers playing baseball.

Building on this premise, Gates recently shared more insights about the AI revolution, indicating that AI is gaining broad adoption across organizations, leaving professionals redundant at work.

However, not all hope is lost, at least for three professions greenlit by the billionaire as future-proof in the emerging AI era. According to Gates, coders, energy experts, and biologists are safe from the hostile AI takeover.

Interestingly, over the past few months, I've covered multiple reports suggesting that coding might be dead in the water with the rapid prevalence of AI. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discouraged the youth from exploring a career path in software engineering, suggesting they might have better luck in biology, education, manufacturing, or farming.

AI can't code at human-level yet
