AI, particularly GPT, is described as the biggest technological change since the iPhone. Bill Gates sees AI as a significant milestone and considers it a game-changer on the level of the graphical user interface.

The potential of AI is immense, with AI agents like GitHub Co-Pilot and advancements in natural language processing reducing barriers to entry and boosting productivity. While there are concerns about privacy, the benefits of AI in automating mundane tasks and raising productivity are clear.
