Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence could trigger two decades of economic and social upheaval.
The transition to an AI-driven economy will create winners and losers, reshaping employment and raising questions about societal roles.
The 20-year timeframe is an estimate that could vary based on technological advances and development decisions.
AI and humanoid robotics could eventually perform heavy physical labour including building homes, growing food, and performing surgery.
Societies may deliberately reserve specific activities like childcare, food preparation, arts, and sports for humans.
