and apparently, the Amish might have the right idea.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on The Verge&#8217;s &#8220;Decoder&#8221; podcast, the Microsoft cofounder suggested some people may eventually pump the brakes on A.I. &#8230; even as the technology becomes capable of doing practically everything for us.<\/p>\n<p>Gates says people could literally decide to live &#8220;like the Amish&#8221; &#8230; using A.I. only for certain things while keeping jobs like childcare, cooking, art and sports in human hands &#8230; even if machines could do them better.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Gates also warns the next 20 years could bring massive disruption &#8230; with plenty of winners and losers as society adjusts to the technology.<\/p>\n<p>                  <a class=\"js-click-image js-track-link image-lightbox-preview\" data-node-ref=\"tmz:image-asset:image_jpg_20260927_aaced8a61a7642459bbb4a7b9be210a4\" data-container-ref=\"tmz:article:f0bcc00a-7e8d-4ab6-ab68-8ae1ddf8ba75\" data-context=\"{&quot;section&quot;:&quot;permalink&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;image&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p>                          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/aaced8a61a7642459bbb4a7b9be210a4_md.jpg\" alt=\"Bill-Gates-getty-2\" width=\"728\" height=\"546\" class=\"img-fluid image-block__img-fluid img-aspect-auto\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <\/a><\/p>\n<p>But he also sees a potential payoff &#8230; a world where A.I. helps eliminate shortages and makes things like healthcare and food more accessible.<\/p>\n<p>His comments come as Microsoft is reportedly offering buyouts to roughly 60,000 employees amid its massive A.I. push &#8230;
