Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates made several predictions for 2024, ranging from AI development to significant political change.
As 2023 comes to a close, the billionaire recalled the previous year’s open letter to the world about “how the prospect of becoming a grandparent made me reflect on the world my granddaughter will be born into.” For the upcoming year, Gates pivoted toward “thinking more about the world she will inherit and what it will be like decades from now, when her generation is in charge,” starting with many of the major changes he anticipates in 2024.
“I consider myself fortunate in that my work allows me to observe how the world is improving.” The challenges we face feel a lot less daunting when you understand what exactly it will take to tackle them,” he wrote. “In this letter, I will share just a few of the reasons I am optimistic about the coming year.” I hope they make you as excited about all the progress to come as I am.”
Bill Gates suggested that Artificial Intelligence, or AI, will rapidly speed up scientific progress when it comes to modern medicine. AI programs can rapidly sift through massive amounts of data to help determine how to treat some of the world’s most dangerous diseases.
