Bill Gates Says AI Could Mean , the End of Search Engines.
Gates recently spoke at a San Francisco tech event called AI Forward, Insider reports.
He said that artificial intelligence could become advanced enough to eliminate the need for search engines or online shopping.
That's because top AI firms would likely develop personal digital agents. .
Whoever wins the personal agent,
that's the big thing, because you will never go to a search site again, you will never go to a productivity site, you'll never go to Amazon again, Bill Gates, speaking at AI Forward.
For example, a personal digital agent could "read the stuff you don't have time to read.".
While Gates would like Microsoft to have a hand in developing such a technology.
he said there's a 50% chance that a startup will become a leader in AI in the future. .
The technology is still far from being
ready for widespread use, Gates said.
Gates published a letter called
'The Age of AI has Begun' in March.
In it, he states that developing AI is
"as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer,
the internet and the mobile phone."

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.
