Bill Gates: AI will “kill” internet search and website shopping  

It will drastically change user behavior

Bill Gates, speaking at the AI ​​Forward 2023 conference in San Francisco, emphasized that the competition between technology companies right now is about who will create the best AI personal assistant first. And whoever is first will disrupt search engines, productivity and online shopping sites.

You’ll never need to use a search site again. You’ll never have to use Amazon again.

Gates, although he wants Microsoft to be that company, believes that a small startup company has a 50% chance of being the first to create a digital personal assistant that will take on certain tasks for the user.

He believes that this technology will be so unprecedented that it will drastically change user behavior. This artificial intelligence will be able to understand a person’s needs and habits and help him ” read things he doesn’t have time to read “.

However, he admits that it will take time for such a powerful digital tool to become mainstream, and until then, companies will continue to incorporate productive AI tools like ChatGPT into their products.
