Bill Gates said that the long -term deficiency in doctors and teachers may end soon because artificial intelligence will fill the gap.
“Artificial intelligence will come and provide medical intelligence, and there will be no deficiency,” said on Friday, “People by WTF”, published on Friday.
Gates has long focused on public health, that countries like India and those in Africa are still facing a lack of medical professionals.
The United States also has this issue. A report issued by the American Medical Colleges Association last year expected that the United States will face a lack of a doctor of 86,000 specialists and doctors in primary care by 2036.
“The country needs hundreds of thousands of doctors to provide an equal care for all, including minorities, those who do not have medical insurance, and people who live in rural areas,” Michael Del, director of workforce studies at the organization, told Business Insider last year.
The number of doctors who specializes in aging is diminished, even as old. In March, medical professionals told March that the flow of older patients could lead to a care quality crisis.
To reduce exhaustion in this industry, startups that focus on health care collected billions by placing themselves as repair. Startups such as SUKI, Zephyr AI and Tennr say they can reduce the work burden by automating frequent tasks such as bills, clarification of notes, improving the accuracy of diagnosis, and identifying patients for emerging treatments, according to Business Insider in December.
The MCKINSEY Consulting Company estimates that obstetric artificial intelligence can enhance the productivity of health care and medicine at an amount of up to 370 billion dollars.
Education is directed in the same direction.
In the United States, according to federal data issued in 2023, 86 % of public schools from kindergarten to the twelfth grade reached difficulties in employing teachers for the 2023-24 academic year. About 45 % of public schools said they suffer from employee deficiency.
In the United Kingdom, the London Secondary School replaces some teachers with artificial intelligence tools such as Chatgpt to help students prepare for exams, BI said last year. The experimental program at David Game College shared 20 students using artificial intelligence tools for a year in basic materials such as English, mathematics, biology and computer science.
Despite concerns about students who use artificial intelligence to cheat, BI teachers told them that they were optimistic about the capabilities of obstetric intelligence to provide teachers’ time and improve learning – especially since the classrooms become more difficult for employees.
If artificial intelligence performs jobs, what remains for humans?
Gates was not only talking about teachers and doctors. He also said that artificial intelligence will come to factory workers, construction crews and hotel detergents – anyone doing a job that requires physical skill and time.
