Some moments are more pivotal than others, such as the current one marked by transformative technological changes like the internet and AI revolution. The impact has been seen in speeding up the world, polarizing communities through social media, and hyperbolizing politics. Bill Gates, a key figure in technological advancements, has been instrumental in empowering humans through computer technology for 50 years. His involvement in various technological developments, eradication of diseases, and partnership with OpenAI showcases his commitment to advancing technology for the greater good.

Where is AI headed, and how quickly will it get there? Should we be early adopters or keep our distance? Will it make our lives better or put us out of work?

We can’t think of a better person to answer these questions than Bill Gates. He’s played a leading role in every major tech development over the last half-century, and he’s got a pretty good track record when it comes to forecasting the future. Back in 1980, he predicted that one day there’d be a computer on every desk; today on the show, he says there will soon be an AI agent in every ear.

Rufus and Bill are joined by Andy Sack and Adam Brotman, co-authors of an exciting new book called “AI First.” Together, they consider AI’s impact on healthcare, education, productivity, and business. They dig into the technology’s risks. And they explore its potential to cure diseases, enhance creativity, and usher in a world of abundance.
