LARRUZ breaks down Bill Gates's 2024 AI predictions, arguing we're in an early but accelerating shift like the early internet. Gates sees AI agents and summarization tools driving massive productivity gains, especially in medicine: AI helped solve antibiotic resistance, and better vaccines could cut childhood deaths by millions.
So this is going to be one of the videos that I would say is arguably one of the most important videos that you should watch on this channel. Because whilst creating the resources for this video and looking through certain things, I realized that Bill gates predictions for 2024 about AI agents and the future are truly, truly remarkable. And a lot of the things that he does talk about I really didn't think about before. So I'm going to go through around 10 or so different points about AI agents in 2024 and beyond, and, and exactly what Bill Gates has said and exactly how they're going to change our future, because, trust me, there are some really important predictions that I think you'll want to understand. One of the first things that he talks about, okay, is the fact that you need to pay attention. Now, of course, this isn't something that directly applies to you as much because you're someone that currently testing 1, 2 is actually on the AI side of the Internet, which means you're engaging in artificial intelligence content. You're watching it, you're consuming it, and you're likely realizing the monumental change that that is coming now. Other people have, but not many people have. You can see the Bill Gates here says the early days of a new age are often marked by lots of changes. If you're old enough to remember, think back to the beginning of the Internet. At first, you probably didn't know many people who were using it, but it became more common over time, until one day you realized most people had email addresses, bought things online, and used search engines to answer their questions. So it's definitely something that you should pay attention to because of course, it is something that is really, really important not to just dig your head in the sand. And essentially, when I say dig your head in the sand, it just pluck your head into the clouds and just say, you know what? Nothing's happening when AI is here, it's here to stay. And it is a remarkable piece of technology. Bill Gates also says that we are just at the beginning of this transition right now. He says this is an exciting and confusing time. And if you haven't figured out how to make the best use of AI yet, you are not alone. I thought I would use AI tools for the foundation strategy reviews this year, which require reading hundreds of pages of briefing materials that AI could accurately summarize for me. But. But old habits are hard to break, and I ended up preparing them the same way I always do. So he's basically talking about how the fact that these AI systems can be Used to summarize, you know, long documents, things like Claude, things like ChatGPT can of course do that. But of course he's talking about, you know, just doing things the old way. Like with this channel, for example, you know, you could have an AI voice, you could have an AI script. But of course I do also prefer to do things the old way. Will that change in the future for other industries and other people? That is of course something we're going to be talking about later on in the video. But point he's trying to make here is that we are at that transition period where things are about to change and we're about to see that rapid super takeoff, like a plane just taking off in the sky. The plane is slowly taking off and then of course, we're nowhere near the summit yet. So one of the things he does talk about, and this was something that recently we did get, and this is not one of the crazy, crazier things. I mean, it's actually kind of crazy, but it's not one of the crazier things I didn't, you know, look at. It's about the fact that AI is about to supercharge the innovation pipeline. So he says here that my work has always been rooted in a core idea. Innovation is the key to progress. It's why I started Microsoft and it's why Melinda and I started the Gates foundation more than two decades ago. Innovation is the reason our lives have improved so much over the last century. From electricity and cars to medicine and planes, innovation has made the world much better. Today we are far more productive because of the IT revolution. And, and the most successful economies are driven by innovative industries that evolve to meet the needs of the changing world. What he's basically saying here is that AI is about to not only just give us more productivity boost, it's going to give us a super supercharged innovation pipeline in terms of ideas, in terms of research, in terms of literally everything. Now the first thing that he actually does talk about was the fact that vaccine innovation actually did help cut childhood deaths in half. So you can see right here that we have the children death every year. And you can see it was at 10 million, now it's at around 5 million. Which of course you can see the new vaccines, new delivery mechanisms, new ways to make vaccines. With AI, even I think yesterday it was there was a research paper where they actually used AI once again to find something, to find a solution for a antibiotic resistant strain of bacteria that was killing around 10,000 people a year. They found AI to be able to find the cure for that. So, like I said, if we can get a situation where we do have new vaccines, new delivery mechanisms, new ways to make vaccines, consistently done with AI, with deep learning, with, you know, just all different sorts of AI, is definitely going to advance things on a ridiculous level. So you can see right here was that he was talking about. One of the biggest impacts so far is on creating new medicines, drug testing.
