 In his words, "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"

He also said that this yet-to-be developed AI assistant will be able to understand a person’s needs and habits and will help them “read the stuff you don’t have time to read,” 

He however expressed his disappointment if Microsoft was not a part of such A.I. development. Nonetheless, he mentioned a notable startups who have continue to make progress and have edges in the development of A.I. such as "Inflection.AI", which was co-founded by former DeepMind executive Mustafa Suleyman.

As reported by CNBC, Gates made know that it will take some time until this powerful future digital agent is ready for mainstream use, Gates said. Until then, companies will continue embedding so-called generative AI technologies akin to OpenAI’s popular ChatGPT into their own products.

Gates added that he believes that future humanoid robots that are cheaper for companies to use than human employees will greatly impact blue-collar workers, too.

"As we invent these robots, we just need to make sure they don’t get Alzheimer’s,” Gates said in jest.
