Bill Gates wants jobs reserved for humans amid AI boom

Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft, has expressed his concerns about the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the job market and society. In his essay "The turbulent AI era is here," Gates suggested that certain jobs should be designated as "human-reserved" as AI and robots continue to advance.

He also highlighted the importance of international collaboration between countries like the US and China to mitigate the potential disruption caused by AI.
