The two big tech leaders agree: AI might take away your job, but it could also create more exciting jobs.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently launched a podcast and scored a major interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. The discussion delves into the rapid development of AI and its implications, featuring insights and predictions from two individuals deeply entrenched in the field.
