One of the most important books: Bill Gates advised what to read about artificial intelligence.

Bill Gates recommends reading a book about artificial intelligence

According to Bill Gates, everyone should familiarize themselves with his favorite book about artificial intelligence. This book explains that over the next five years, artificial intelligence will transform most professions across all sectors.

The book is titled 'The Next Wave: Technology, Power and the Greatest Dilemma of the 21st Century'. It was published in 2023 and written by AI pioneer Mustafa Suleyman, who is a co-founder of the DeepMind research lab. He sold it to Google in 2014 and now leads the AI department at Microsoft.

This is the book I recommend more than any other book on artificial intelligence - to heads of state, business leaders, and anyone who asks, because it offers something rare: a clear vision of both the incredible opportunities and the real risks that await us.

In this book, Suleyman predicts that the rapid development of artificial intelligence will completely change work across all industries. According to research by the McKinsey consulting group, by 2030, about half of all 'work processes' will be automated.

The consequences of implementing artificial intelligence will have a destabilizing effect on hundreds of millions of people, who will have to retrain and transition to new types of jobs.

According to McKinsey, over 400 million workers worldwide may be forced to change their jobs or roles. Artificial intelligence will help employees work more efficiently, but it will replace jobs, Suleyman wrote.

It is also worth noting that the prices for subscriptions to Microsoft's cloud Office suite have significantly increased. The family subscription to Microsoft 365 has risen by 30% - to $130 per year, while the version for private users has increased by 43% to $100.
