Yikes!<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Of course, no one can see into the future, but who better to provide their opinion than <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/artificial-intelligence\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI <\/a>itself!<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\"><a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UNILAD<\/a> asked good old <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/chatgpt\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ChatGPT<\/a> what it thought &#8211; and according to the bot, AI may not be after all our jobs after all!

Well, AI believes in 10 years time the most valuable will be those who can \u2018work with AI\u2019 as well as combining technical skills with communications.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">ChatGPT claims that although AI can assist healthcare professionals with diagnosis, \u2018patients still want humans making final calls and providing care\u2019. Very understandable.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">AI also agrees with Gates that <a class=\"anchor_link__6t7IO\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unilad.com\/science\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">scientists<\/a> will remain safe, stating that although AI is powerful for analysis, breakthroughs still require human skills such as intuition and hypothesis generation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Plus, AI thinks leaders such as execs and entrepreneurs will be safe, claiming, \u2018the higher the uncertainty and responsibility, the harder replacement becomes.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"AI had their say on Gates' claims (Getty Stock Image)\" data-chromatic=\"ignore\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"fill\" class=\"article-image_image__XvzgU\" style=\"position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/aHR0cHM6Ly9ldS1pbWFnZXMuY29udGVudHN0YWNrLmNvbS92My9hc3NldHMvYmx0OTQ5ZWE4ZTE2ZTQ2MzA0OS9ibHQ5MmI4NGI5.webp\"\/>AI had their say on Gates&#8217; claims (Getty Stock Image)What jobs does AI think are at risk?<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In what can only be described as a great analogy, ChatGPT said that \u2018calculators didn\u2019t eliminate accountants, and the internet didn\u2019t eliminate journalists,\u2019 but in fact, they changed their jobs \u2018drastically\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Unlike Gates, AI didn\u2019t want to pick on any particular job at risk, but in fact, came for us all.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cI don\u2019t think any profession is permanently \u2018safe,'&#8221; Chat wrote. \u201cAI capability is moving too fast for absolute predictions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">\u201cThe question isn\u2019t \u2018Will AI affect this field?\u2019 The question is, \u2018Which human skills in this field remain scarce?\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Unfortunately though, according to AI\u2019s predictions, it expects that those who will be most vulnerable are \u2018workers doing repetitive computer-based tasks\u2019 and those who \u2018avoid using AI tools.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">Plus, those whose work is \u2018easy to measure and standardize\u2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">In terms of risks, AI predicts it won\u2019t always equal unemployment, just \u2018lower wages, fewer openings, tougher competition and higher skill requirements.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">It claims that more jobs can be done with one person, for example, \u2018a lawyer using AI may do the work of three junior associates.\u2019 Therefore, it predicts it may mean fewer entry level roles, and smaller teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">And we\u2019ll leave you with a closing thought from the bot: \u201cAI changes jobs more than it destroys them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_text__nEn66\">We\u2019ll check back in 10 years!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft founder Bill Gates made a bombshell prediction about Artificial Intelligence (AI)\u2019s takeover &#8211; and ChatGPT has now&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":665023,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[256,254,255,64,63,19415,5004,105],"class_list":["post-665022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bill-gates","tag-chatgpt","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=665022"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/665022\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/665023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=665022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=665022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=665022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
