'The old Asian wonders will be ended by the AI.' 'Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, said the question would be whether AI's artificial intelligence will largely replace manufacturing jobs in developing countries.
On the afternoon of February 13, US Eastern Time, Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda Gates, held an event at the New York City University Hunter College to release the annual open letter from the Gates Foundation. In a one-and-a-half-hour press conference , The Gates talked to the students present and the online audience and answered the ten most difficult questions to answer.
Gates talked about his views on the development of manufacturing industry, he believes that from a historical point of view, by the manufacturing and export-driven 'Asian miracle' economic growth will be affected by the spread of artificial intelligence. 'Previously, from Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and all of China in the recent past have relied on this model of development, which once created tremendous employment opportunities in these countries. However, apparel manufacturing has now begun to shift to Bangladesh. Gates said that because these jobs are beginning to become more and more easily replaced by artificial intelligence, the education system in these countries and the way in which they are exported will be greatly affected.
Under the influence of technology, the mode of economic growth in these countries will become more service-oriented, for example, more and more call centers and software manufacturing industries are emerging in India. "The most fundamental solution is how to make the economic growth of our own country Healthier and more developed education system, so that a new generation can create new wealth through entrepreneurship and business innovation, and this new economic growth mode will continue. "Gates said.
He also believes that this new mode of growth independent of manufacturing-driven growth will create a group of "middle-income countries" that will bridge the gap between high-income and low-income countries in the past.
'In the 1960s, there were basically only poor and rich countries in the world, basically no middle-income countries, but today, if China counts as a rich side and India as a poor side, then all countries in the middle of the two poles can be regarded as medium Income countries. "Gates said.
Because of the rise of middle-income countries, he believes that only a small proportion of the world's population now live in low-income countries, which currently receive assistance from mobile phones and vaccines and may even receive housing assistance in the future. , Job creation left to them by manufacturing has been limited and they need access to new jobs through education.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, took part in the launch via an online live stream and asked Gates a question: 'If you can go back, what would you give the younger one?'
Bill Gates's answer to this question is: 'I used to be very naive about skills when I was young, and I think if a person has a high IQ, he will be good at doing anything in the world. The point is that you have to It always surprises me to combine these different skills, and I now realize more and more that such a simple high IQ is not always something that can be done, and I hope I realized this a bit earlier Problem
He also did not forget to praise Zuckerberg: "Mark has done a great job at a lot younger ages and he and his wife did a lot of charity things earlier than our couple started Much earlier.
