In the last quarter of last year, a startup operating in the US market revealed the ChatGPT neural network to the world. She is able to perform quite complex tasks like writing program code and conducting meaningful dialogues with interlocutors. Against the backdrop of the growing popularity of the sensational chatbot, Microsoft has promised to invest about 10 billion USD in the development of OpenAI. Handelsblatt journalists asked Bill Gates what he thinks about the prospects of ChatGPT.

The Microsoft co-founder noted that neural networks have long learned to read and write, but until recently they could not understand the content. The advent of the ChatGPT chatbot will improve the efficiency of many office specialties. He can take over writing letters or issuing invoices. It will completely change the world around us.
It is worth noting that even ten years ago, Gates’ attitude to technological progress could be described as skeptical. During a speech to the staff of the American Enterprise Institute, the billionaire predicted mass unemployment. He argued that over the next 20 years, automation and bots will replace many jobs.
Gates’ statements about the promise of AI technologies suggest that the position of the Microsoft co-founder has changed. He believes that with the advent of neural networks like ChatGPT, people will have to work less, since they will take on part of the work.
