Bill Gates suggests reserving 40% of jobs for humans amid AI shift
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates believes that in this era of AI disruption, society ought to set aside as much as 40% of positions specifically for people. Drawing a parallel to nature preserves, Gates explained that these 'Human Reserved' roles would be jobs that could technically be automated, but are kept human-led because the societal cost of replacing them would be too high. He further proposed that taxing robots and AI tokens could be a way to manage the broader consequences of artificial intelligence.
