During his appearance at AI Forward 2023, an event organized by Goldman Sachs Group Inc and SV Angel in San Francisco, Bill Gates expressed his belief that the most significant technological competition lies in the development of an advanced artificial intelligence agent. This agent has the potential to revolutionize search engines, productivity tools, and online shopping platforms.
Gates confidently stated that individuals would no longer need to rely on traditional search sites like Amazon. Instead, the emergence of a dominant AI agent would render such platforms obsolete. He further emphasized his desire for Microsoft to be a strong contender in this race, although he acknowledged the possibility of a startup taking the lead with a 50% chance of success.
According to Gates, securing victory in the development of this personal agent holds immense significance for the future of technology.
