Bill Gates Says the AI Era Will Be Turbulent. Here Are 7 Things You Should Do Right Now
Gates says AI could eliminate many jobs and urges governments to tax automation while reserving some work for humans.
- Bill Gates proposes designating "Human Reserved" jobs to prevent machines from replacing humans, drawing an analogy to nature reserves where society chooses not to develop land to preserve its inherent value.
- Gates expects machines to eventually outperform humans in many roles, making retraining insufficient. The current tax system encourages companies to replace people with machines, he warns.
- Two forms of protection exist: jobs reserved forever or temporary safeguards for workers nearing retirement. Gates told Axios he could imagine 40% of jobs reserved, though reaching that proved difficult.
- The notion of "Human Reserved" jobs raises practical questions: which roles qualify, what stops companies from cheating, and how does a country protect domestic jobs against foreign competitors automating faster.
- Gates recommends taxing machines to lessen automation incentives and stakes his reputation that current trends will be "very bad for the job market." He emphasizes this represents a tax shift greater than any in his lifetime.
