Bill Gates talks about a future where AI becomes a personal assistant
by
AI technology has made remarkable progress in recent years, and cutting-edge AI technology is being incorporated into a variety of software. Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, discusses on his blog a future in which AI, which has revolutionized the software industry, becomes a personal assistant that supports individual lives.

'I still love software as much as I did when Paul Allen and I started Microsoft,' Gates said. It's still pretty stupid in that way.'
To perform tasks on your computer, you need to tell your device which apps to use. It is possible to create a proposal using Microsoft Word or Google Docs. But you can't use Microsoft Word or Google Docs to handle tasks like sending emails, sharing selfies, analyzing data, scheduling a party, or buying movie tickets. And even the best sites can't fully understand their users' work, personal lives, hobbies, and relationships, and are limited in their ability to use this detailed personal information to do anything for their users. . Gates argues that this is still something only close friends and personal assistants can do.
Gates said, 'In the next five years, things will change completely. You won't need to use different apps for different tasks. You'll just tell your device what you want to do, using the language you use every day. Depending on how much information you share, software can deeply understand your life and respond to you individually.In the near future, anyone who is online will be able to use today's technology. 'We will have personal assistants powered by far more AI than ever before.'
Personal assistants themselves are not a new technology; they have been around for a long time. For example, Microsoft Office had characters such as Clippy and Kyle the dolphin available as assistants. However, Clippy and Kyle were difficult to use and displayed animations on the screen, so they were unpopular with users to the point where an internet meme called `` How to make you disappear '' was born.

Clippy and Kyle were basically designed to return a set answer when you typed in a specific word, but today's personal assistants use AI to dramatically improve the accuracy of their answers, making them more personalized. It is also possible to complete standardized tasks. 'The most exciting impact of AI will be the democratization of services that are expensive for most people, especially in the areas of healthcare, education, productivity, and entertainment and shopping,' Gates said. says.
However, Gates points out that a technical issue with advanced AI is that there is still a lack of understanding of what the data structure of AI will be. Utilizing AI as a personal assistant requires a new type of database that can quickly retrieve users' personal information while maintaining privacy. However, new information storage methods such as vector databases are emerging.
Gates also raises questions about the number of AIs one person will come into contact with. For example, if you ask an AI agent to perform mental care and study mathematics, you need to consider whether each task should be handled by a different AI. If this is the case, we must also consider when to employ AI agents and for how long they will be used.
Then there's the issue of how to interact with AI. Gates believes that the first major breakthrough in connecting humans and AI will be earphones. This is because AI is good at tasks such as monitoring the sounds coming into your ears and blocking out ambient noise, amplifying difficult-to-hear voices, and translating the other person's words.
Gates also points out that there is still no standard protocol that allows AIs to communicate with each other, and that the cost of using AI is still too high. Furthermore, AI should not harm people through bias in fields that require precision, such as healthcare, unless it prevents 'hallucinations' in which people talk about things they have not learned as if they were true. is required.
'The combination of all the AI issues makes online privacy and security issues more urgent than ever,' Gates said. 'By allowing AI to decide what information it can access, users can control their personal information. 'We need to ensure that we can share our information only with the people and companies we choose.'

Also, 'Can we check whether the data shared by AI is being used appropriately?' 'Can law enforcement agencies use AI data as evidence?' 'Who decides what parameters are built into AI?' Issues such as ``How much information should be shared with AI?'' are already considered important by the technology industry and politicians.
Gates said, ``In the distant future, AI may force humans to ask deep questions about the purpose of life. AI will become so good that everyone will be able to live a high quality of life without having to work as much.'' Imagine, in such a future, what will people do with their time? Why would anyone still want to be educated when AI has all the answers? ?Can we have a safe and prosperous society when most people have a lot of free time? But we have been marching towards such a time for a long time, and eventually AI will come. In the next few years. , AI will profoundly change our lives, both online and offline.'
