The Microsoft cofounder talked to Forbes about his work with AI unicorn OpenAI and back on Microsoft’s campus, AI’s potential impact on jobs and in medicine, and much more.
n 2020, Bill Gates left the board of directors of Microsoft, the tech giant he cofounded in 1975. But he still spends about 10% of his time at its Redmond, Washington headquarters, meeting with product teams, he says. A big topic of discussion for those sessions: artificial intelligence, and the ways AI can change how we work — and how we use Microsoft software products to do it.
Bill Gates: [My] interest in AI goes back to my very earliest days of learning about software. The idea of computers seeing, hearing and writing is the longterm quest of the entire industry. It's always been super interesting to me.
Then of course, the internet takes that to a whole new level. When I was CEO of Microsoft, I wrote the internet “tidal wave”, It’s pretty stunning that what I'm seeing in AI just in the last 12 months is every bit as important as the PC, the PC with GUI [graphical user interface], or the internet. As the four most important milestones in digital technology, this ranks up there.
One of the things I challenged Greg [Brockman] with early in the summer: “Hey, can OpenAI’s model]] pass the AP Biology tests?” And I said, “If you show me that, then I will say that it has the ability to represent things in a deeply abstract form, that's more than just statistical things.” When I was first programming, we did these random sentence generators where we'd have the syntax of typical English sentences, you know, noun, verb, object.
