Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently revealed that he would restart the company as an AI-centric firm if given the opportunity. In a recent interview with CNBC, Gates stated that someone could raise billions of dollars for a new AI company just from a few sketch ideas. This comes as no surprise, considering Microsoft’s increasing focus on artificial intelligence and its potential to revolutionize various industries.
Gates emphasized the importance of identifying a niche with little competition in the AI landscape. He acknowledged that building an AI startup is challenging, but he believes it’s possible to create a unique view of how AI systems are designed, making it more successful than others in the field.
Interestingly, Gates expressed his admiration for software and its transformative impact on the tech world. However, he doesn’t believe this same success would be achievable in the AI space simply by believing in AI alone. Instead, he believes that having a unique perspective on AI design would be essential for standing out as a small company.
In his upcoming Netflix docuseries “What’s Next? The Future With Bill Gates,” scheduled to premiere on September 18, Gates will delve deeper into the world of AI and its potential applications.
