💼 Bill Gates Proposes Reserving Certain Professions for Humans In an interview with The Verge, Gates said that within roughly 20 years, AI and humanoid robots will eliminate shortages of goods and services worldwide. Androids will build cheap housing and perform surgery, and in poor countries where children are malnourished and many people never see a doctor in their entire lives, AI will help defeat disease and hunger. But in the end, people will have nothing left to do — because beyond the purely economic struggle against scarcity, work gives people a sense of purpose, dignity, and social connection. That's why Gates proposes creating a reserve of professions that society deliberately keeps for humans, even if machines can do them better. Examples include childcare, cooking, art, and sports. In Gates's view, society should decide which fields make the list. 👨💻 Ironically, Gates discussed this idea with Claude. He tried to push the share of such professions to around 40% of the labor market, but Claude kept objecting that this would artificially restrict AI. Does humanity need a "reserve of professions"? ❤️ — Yes, it's the right call 🔥 — No, AI will do everything better
