Watching What’s Next with Bill Gates has certainly given me a lot to reflect on over the past week.
If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it.
Bill Gates has been a revolutionary figure in the technological growth of the past 40-50 years. Let’s be honest, no matter what platform you use on a computer today, Windows 95 was a game-changer. It revolutionized the way we communicated, thought, and in some ways, even lived.
The five episodes each focus on different subjects, ranging from AI to climate change, wealth, and poverty. All of them were really interesting, but the one that piqued my interest the most was AI.
I’m not new to AI. I’ve been working with it for 17 years and had the opportunity to project lead the first AI bot in England back in 2008. Let’s be honest, everyone is using AI these days—whether it’s generative AI to create fun images or short videos, using it for text translation, or, from a business perspective, leveraging it for managing content and imagery.
The first episode brought together the founders of AI to discuss its growth. While many described it as “not a toy, but more of a bomb waiting to explode,” they touched on something incredibly vital: AI and its potential in medicine.
When DNA was unlocked in 1986, humanity was given the chance to understand the genetics behind medicine. Now, almost 40 years later, we’re at a point where the primary focus of AI should be on unlocking cures for serious diseases.
Especially cancer.
As the series progressed, it became clear that the wealth of billionaires is a topic that perhaps warrants regulation, or at least some rethinking.
But never before has humanity been in a more advantageous position to finally begin eradicating this terrible illness.
