This is the only job that will survive artificial intelligence, according to Bill Gates.

Entrepreneur and billionaire Bill Gates, best known as the founder of Microsoft, has become very active in recent years when it comes to speaking about Artificial Intelligence and how it will impact different aspects of our lives.

And without a doubt, one of the most worrying aspects of this technology's impact on our lives is work. This is because AI has the capabilities and skills to imitate humans and replicate what they do, which represents a revolution for the workforce. Until now, only humans could do it. Little by little, machines will be able to do it too.

This has positive and negative aspects, and within seconds, AI has the potential to threaten a vast number of jobs. A few weeks ago, Gates, from his personal blog Gates Notes, gave his perspective on this topic.

According to the magnate, it was during his visit to First Avenue Elementary School in New Jersey, where the businessman had the opportunity to explore how schools could operate by integrating AI, as the school had launched a pilot project to introduce the technology into classrooms.

Under the name Khanmigo, this AI was intended as a support or even an assistant for teachers. "Artificial intelligence will radically transform educational dynamics for both teachers and students once the technology reaches maturity," Gates wrote.

While this might lead us to believe that AI will gradually take over teachers, Gates asserts the opposite, despite praising the benefits of incorporating this tool into the classroom. "We're still in the early stages of using AI in the classroom, but what I saw in Newark highlighted the amazing potential of this technology."

For example, AI allows teachers to closely monitor each student's academic performance so they don't miss a single detail, and it can also act as a personalized tutor for children who need additional assistance.

Still, this technology is far from perfect. Gates reflects that she still struggled to pronounce names in Spanish, was still slow to understand specific requests , and still didn't have a female voice.

AI can be used by teachers and educators to optimize routine tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time to connecting with their students. This will be key to improving the quality of teaching and learning. However, it must be considered a support tool for educators. "At the end of the day, teachers know best. With the right tools, they will always find a way to support their students," he asserted.

Technology will improve the educational process, but it can never replace the work of teachers.
