– Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that can help humans do their work more efficiently. The presence of AI-based ChatGPT is actually considered by several groups to threaten the role of humans in various fields of work. It is not impossible for companies to terminate employment relationships (PHK) as a result of implementing ChatGPT.

ChatGPT (Generative Pre-training Transforme) is an AI technology that works like a conversation format. This technology will answer or carry out every command written in sentence form. In a few seconds the AI will work and then display the answer.

According to India Today, AI chatbots can perform 'exclusive tasks' that previously could only be done by humans, such as coding computer programs to writing poetry. ChatGPT continues to be developed into smarter technology in the future. This is what makes technology experts think that AI can eliminate human jobs.

Bill Gates is one of the figures who is happy to welcome the emergence of AI technology with all its positive impacts on the world. In a podcast session with Kamath at People by WTF, Gates revealed that there is one field of work that cannot be replaced by AI. This profession is a software engineer or software engineering.

"We will need them (software engineers) even in the AI era," said Bill Gates.

Gates studied AI at Microsoft and realized AI was having a significant impact across a variety of industries, including software engineering. Gates is optimistic about the future of software engineering jobs.

He highlighted the potential of AI to increase worker productivity and serve as an educational educator (provided references). As the project has been successfully implemented in India and the United States.

“The great thing about this technology is that we know (AI) can help provide “hints” and can be an educational teacher (providing unknown information). We have seen several projects in India and the US showing great results. "The potential is huge if we know all of this (the benefits of AI) so that work becomes more productive," explained Gates about the positive contribution of AI.

Furthermore, Gates dismissed the issue that AI could replace the role of software engineering in companies. Gates actually revealed that the opportunities for this profession remain strong and are even increasing.

"We (representing Microsoft) still need software engineers forever," he added.

According to him, ChatGPT as a new AI automation will be optimally utilized by companies in the next 20 years. But Gates' estimate is still not accurate. Because Gates admits that it is difficult to predict the long-term impact of AI on the workforce. This is a complex problem so it is difficult to calculate with certainty.
