According To Bill Gates, These Are The Only Careers Safe From The Rise Of AI
Soon, AI will change how we work very quickly. A lot of our boring and repetitive jobs are already being done by it, which frees people up to work on bigger projects.
Of course, this change is making a lot of workers worried.
According to one report, eight million jobs in the UK could be lost to AI in the “worst case scenario.” Another study found that AI can be used to do 54% of banking jobs. Singapore’s biggest bank, DBS, said just last month that it might cut about 4,000 jobs over the next three years as AI takes over more work that used to be done by people. However, worries about privacy and security that are unavoidable in places like banks are still stopping AI from being used by more people—at least for now.
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, recently talked about his thoughts on the subject.
The tech billionaire said that AI would eventually do most of the work that people do now. But that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything. Gates said that in the end, we will have to decide how to use AI and what parts of the work we want to keep doing ourselves.
In light of this, the billionaire listed three jobs that he doesn’t think will be taken over by AI. These people know a lot about energy, biology, and coding.
This may seem strange, even contradictory, since other tech experts are pointing in the opposite direction. Recently, Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, told young people to think twice before going into software development because of how far AI has come. Meanwhile, Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce, said that his company is “seriously debating” hiring software workers in 2025.
Also, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said that AI would someday replace software engineers. Because of this, he says that students should “master AI tools” like his generation did with coding.

Gates, on the other hand, says that human coders are still necessary even though AI can now write code and even pass scientific tests (like OpenAI’s o1 reasoning model). Gates said that AI will need help from professionals to find and fix mistakes, improve systems, and help it grow.
The 69-year-old also says that scientists will be safe in a world with AI.
He says AI is great at finding diseases and looking at DNA, but it’s not creative enough for biological study and scientific discovery, he says again.
In addition, Gates thought that AI might help reach world climate goals instead of getting in the way. For now, though, it won’t be able to replace energy experts because the field is too complicated for machines to fully understand.
Gates said somewhere else that the world will probably miss its 2050 climate goals, even though AI and clean tech are getting better.
“I worry, in general, that the amount of green electricity that we need for the transition is not going to show up nearly as fast as we need,” he explained. “If you try to map out and say: ‘Let’s get to zero by 2050,’ you’re like: ‘Another 10 or 15 years might be more realistic.’ It’s very hard to see. We’re not going to get to zero by 2050, I don’t think.”
