Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, wrote on his Twitter that if he were to finish college today, he would be looking for work in the field of artificial intelligence, biological sciences or energy, writes VentureBeat.

Bill Gates believes that it is worth waiting for breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence. He predicts that in 20 years, robots will take millions of jobs, and that they will be subject to a tax equivalent to personal income tax to compensate for the consequences of automation.

This is his opinion, widely publicized in mid-February, caused a resonance in the world - many experts disagreed with him, including IBM's senior vice president David Kenny and former Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin. But Steve Cousins, director of Savioke, supported this view.

The co-founder of Microsoft also believes that biological technologies will actively develop, and in 10-15 years bioterrorists will create artificial viruses. In addition, modern research is largely related to the development of energy, it is important for society - and therefore in 15 years renewable energy will outstrip the hydrocarbon.
