His books , including “ The Road Ahead ” ( 1995 ) and “ How to Avoid a Climate Disaster ” ( 2021 ), reflect his thinking on the future of technology and environmental sustainability .
Today , Gates describes himself as a ‘ full-time philanthropist ’, and also regularly updates a blog covering a range of topics from sustainability to the latest developments in technology , including AI .
“ The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor , the personal computer , the Internet and the mobile phone ,” he wrote recently . “ It will change the way people work , learn , travel , get health care , and communicate with each other . Entire industries will reorient around it . Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it .
“ The world needs to make sure that everyone – and not just people who are well-off – benefits from artificial intelligence . Governments and philanthropy will need to play a major role in ensuring that it reduces inequity and doesn ’ t contribute to it . This is the priority for my own work related to AI .”
