Transcripts
hi everyone s here from Khan Academy and
as some of you all know I have released
my second book Brave New words about the
future of AI and education and work it's
available wherever you might buy your
books but as part of the research for
that book I did some interviews with
some Fascinating People which you are
about to watch I'm very excited to
introduce you to Our Guest who probably
needs no introduction Bill Gates Bill
thanks for joining us great to see you
so I know AI is very front of mind for
you uh obviously all of us at Khan
Academy have been thinking a lot about
AI in education and you know the the
focus of this is AI in education and
work and I'll start with a question that
I'm getting from a lot of teenagers and
folks in college and their parents is
given what you know about what's
happening in artificial intelligence and
maybe in other Technologies well like
what advice would you give to someone
who's trying to figure out what skills
should they focus on or not focus on
what should they major in what are the
jobs going to look like or not look like
well the
AI
uh will make people more productive and
you know in some cases like writing
software you know there's a lot of unmet
demand for good software you can make it
higher quality
software exactly what the job market
looks like is very hard to predict but
the deeper skill set you know whe
whether it's medical consultation or uh
scientific thinking or customer
support uh you know the more value
that's going to have even in a world
where your productivity will be enhanced
by having this sort of almost
free uh worker you know is looking over
your shoulder giving you advice uh
giving giving you lots of feedback on
what it is that you're doing so I don't
think there's anything like you know
don't become a barber or a
radiologist that we have in mind because
this the new capabilities are very
horizontal in nature it's not a a topic
specific uh set of
advances so it's it's kind of like
everyone's going to have a an intern or
a research assistant or an analyst so
maybe the answer is don't be the
research assistant or the intern or the
analyst learn to manage them yeah and
and of course jobs like uh you know
helping handicapped elderly uh helping
to motivate
students uh you know there's such an
infinite demand for those things even in
the rich world but even more
dramatically so in developing countries
that you know jobs that require deep
human connection and
empathy uh you know we'd say it's a long
ways off uh before there's a a
substitute for those things you know we
have two revolutions kind of in parallel
we have this uh chat BT enabled sort of
reading and writing White Collar
enhancement but in the meantime people
shouldn't underestimate that the blue
collar sort of Robotics eventually
leading to a humanoid robot that's quite
general purpose in terms of the physical
skills arms
legs uh
the things that it can do that's also
happening and so the good news is that
we're going to have more Leisure Time uh
that a lot of the shortages that we have
on medical advice or when we get
confused being able to be straightened
out you know we have this supply of
these new
capabilities and you know the unique
roles that humans take on or you know
how they'll take their extra spare time
and and make that fulfilling uh are our
challenges you know what you just
touched on is interesting because I
think people have always theorized that
hey we're going to get more productive
we're going to be able to do more with
less time and so we'll have more Leisure
which is you know I think utopian for a
lot of folks but it looks like the
patterns of the past of productivity
improvements are if anything that the
the hyperproductive are working harder
that they're they're they they're
because they get so much leverage from
from every minute um that it's not
necessarily leading to that do you think
something's different about this wave
where maybe things like the four-day or
maybe even eventually a three-day work
week will will become common or do you
think people are just going to be able
to do more with less and hire fewer
people than they do today the analogies
from the past
are worth understanding but the changes
in the past were generational in nature
you know so the mechanization of the
primary occupation which was growing
food that happens
gradually uh and so you know Grandpa was
a farmer and you know your parents less
so and then you know now I don't know
many Rich World Farmers I know a few but
not many uh and so you didn't have to
change midcareer
and you know the it is true that demand
for things uh that we wouldn't have
expected emerged and so it's comforting
to look at that history but the total
level of capability here and the speed
at which it's going to suffuse into the
economy and change job markets you know
five years the effect will be very
substantial I'd say in 10 years it's
going to be quite dramatic and so I
don't think we can
completely dismiss the idea of uh uh
this change
will uh finally get us to the point
where the tradeoff between labor and
Leisure uh actually becomes
important and you know instead of taxing
labor like with payroll
taxes uh you know I called it a robot
tax when I talked about it and people
thought it was strange but we'll shift
to where we essentially subsidize labor
and tax you know completely on the the
capital and and profit side which is a
that alone is a pretty big shift that
government will need to make it's a
fascinating idea it makes a ton of sense
because obviously if we have a more
abundant Society more productive Society
but you know let's take an investment
bank or consulting firm a lot of the
traditional work that people are
building and the size of the
organization are analysts doing
spreadsheets and making PowerPoint
presentations and a lot of that stuff's
going to get automated very fast and so
this is a world where you subsidize
these firms to say no keep hiring
interns keep hiring these Junior
analysts um we'll Subs so have a sense
of purpose as opposed to these young
people not having something to do not
building their skill set and never being
able to become the the
manager yeah if you get to the extreme
where you know the purpose that jobs
provide uh isn't the central organizing
principal Society then you get into you
know some deep philosophical questions
about you know what should priorities
and what what is the purpose in an
abstruse way you know the Boston Book
superintelligence touched on that I I
don't really think it's that's been
written about all that well um you know
life
3.0 did a good job of saying okay what
is the role of the intelligence in these
futuristic scenarios lot of new books
coming out right now I haven't uh been
able to catch up to them all uh probably
some of those will be will be helpful
I'm I'm interviewing you right now for
one of them perfect
this and and um just going back to I
guess more uh uh Basics so to speak
obviously a lot of the folk we talk a
little bit about work but now going back
to the core of Education which I know
you care deeply about we've chatted many
times about
education right now there's a bit of an
emergency going on in education people
like kids are going to cheat using this
technology how what what do you have an
answer for and we're hearing this from
every you know faculty across grade
levels
across what would you do if you were a a
a history Professor or a writing
professor at a high school or a or
college right
now well to have a pure test of
somebody's ability to write on their own
or calculate on their own you'll need to
create
a an environment where they they don't
have access to the software tools our
efforts to detect whether software has
helped you write
something uh you know we'll catch the
sloppiest you know sort of the
equivalent of cotton paste from
Wikipedia but in the end uh we won't be
able to tell because there'd be such a
variety of tools and the variety of
prompts uh will make that quite
difficult so the good news here is that
for the first time if you write on a
topic the AI can give you feedback uh it
can help you with the first draft it can
uh help compare what you've done to to
something else it can create a program
of study of things that you might try to
write about and so the level of
Engagement where it can uh help you
whenever you're stuck really is
something new it goes even beyond the
fact that there's great YouTube videos
about all the sciences and history this
gets into the realm of Uh
custom to tutors and feedback on reading
and writing so the Paradox that now we
have this tool that if you want to learn
it makes it easier but testing
somebody's uh capability we're going to
have to use new techniques and sadly in
some cases it might make people feel
like wow wow if it's so good uh you know
do I still need to push myself uh as
hard we're you know you and I are seing
both for personal fulfillment and to
play uh a role in contribution in a in a
job market the higher level your skills
are you know the more uh it it will
retain a substantial value so the you
know helping kids learn how to
uh get feedback on their
writing um I think that's imperative
because we we do a very poor job of that
today so what I'm hearing is is that not
only is there not less of a reason
there's more of a reason to accelerate
part the earlier part of our
conversation which is those intern level
entry level things are quickly going to
expect you to be more of the architect
more of the editor more of the manager
and if you can't make that leap sooner
than later the good news is these same
tools can be used to do that which I
agree with as well and obviously we're
working on a lot of that what would you
uh so if if there was a profession I
mean we get emails from folks maybe you
do too of like what do I do this fall
like what and it sounds like you would
do more in-class Proctor things for
assessment and would you still do the
traditional term paper or would you
change the rules of engagement on that
well yes in the
workplace people are going to be
encouraged to come up with the best
product they can where it's them plus
the AI and so there's no reason not to
have that be one of the uh skills that
you practice is hey you know let's do a
business plan and sure you know learn
how to use the very best AI tools but
you know I will view the if I just have
the AI do it without any of your value
added you know that's going to be like a
c minus uh are worse uh you have to get
in there and you know bring in a little
more accuracy different sources of
knowledge uh and you know have have
unique uh value added I mean you
understand the audience that it's going
to it's even hard still for the computer
to understand all those different
context so yes uh you're going to have
two kinds of writing uh writing you do
completely without the help of the
computer and writing you do where you're
encouraged to make it be the best
assistant possible no that makes sense
you know we talked to Kevin Roose who
writes for the New York Times also
famously wrote about his interactions
with Sydney and all of that uh and his
point is there's writing and there's
journalism the writing the AIS are
getting very good at but the journalism
making the contacts being able to
interview people form bonds Etc and that
there's an analog to everything if
you're an
entrepreneur doing user testing you know
although the AI might might be able to
do pieces of that related to this whole
practice feedback you know you you
touched on the word assessment I'm
curious what you where you think
assessment is going obviously for many
years scalable assessment was fairly
limited Scantron multiple choice that's
what we did because we couldn't do
richer assessment it started to drive
what does or does not happen in the
classroom do you think that's about to
change well there's a controversy over a
assessment uh independent of the AI you
know should SAT scores
be part of college admissions you know I
do think uh proving that your math
skills and your you know basic
understanding of you know history and uh
science is strong you know that's pretty
important and that when you want to
consolidate knowledge the fact that
you'll be asked very broad questions
about it is very motivational to making
it accessible not just okay tomorrow
I'll know it in a simplistic form rather
I know how to access it and combine it
with my other knowledge so I'm still
somebody who thinks that tests uh can
help you know you know where you are in
a subject area and you know it's a
meritocratic thing that uh you really
want to be able to prove that you have
some cap capability certainly when I go
to a doctor I'm glad they've been
subject to some uh uh examination and
and test of their competence now dealing
with the fact that if you have a
disadvantaged background even if you're
on a slope to get really
good that looking at you just at that
moment in time you know may not maybe
shouldn't be directly comparable that's
an interesting challenge partly that's
why I love the idea of the computer
tutor because uh it can be encouraging
it can come it can understand what your
misconceptions are uh and it will you
know if we can make it available very
broadly it means that the sophistication
that say my parents you know provided to
me as college graduates is less
unique uh in a world where the the AI
tutor is super helpful in in a huge
variety of subjects but you know I'll
stick up in many cases you know having a
objective assessment assessment of your
skills um you know I I think once you
move away from that you're in a uh a
very difficult place even in terms of
your own discipline of do I understand
this topic or not yeah no I I I agree
and you know whenever someone says oh
I'm against standardized assessment I'm
like which part are you against the
standardized part or the assessment part
and it's usually hard for them to be
against either of those but I think what
they are implicitly saying is they feel
like it's maybe not fully capturing
where the student is there's only
certain things you can measure maybe
it's not capturing their slope to your
point it's a snapshot in time do you
think that AI in the next five years 10
years might solve this by being able to
give richer assessment and you know
assessment could be where you are in
math it could be where you are in
writing it could even be things like job
interviews that's a form of assessment
uh career progression do you think it's
going to play a big role there well I
think given that we still have certain
imperfections in the
AI uh people can still be skeptical when
we say that a interactive assessment
with the AI discussing a topic like your
understanding of history or economics
that that we can make that equivalent to
the very best sort of uh Professor who
would engage you deeply and and I think
we will get to that level and that is
superior to just a set of standardized
questions uh that you know have to have
sort of a a straightforward answer and
you know your your richness of
understanding the topic
uh and there is you know there are
people who are better at
multiple choice type questions and test
things you know I I think you and I
probably would have done well
educationally but I think partly we are
good at tests and and I felt bad for
kids who you know the test I could tell
they were intimidated you know when that
you know multiple choice you have to
answer all of these in an hour would
come out so by
accommodating a more flexible dialogue I
think different styles of
learning uh will will be appreciated
different a broader set of skills will
be appreciated but we still have to
prove that uh to people we're not we're
not at that level of matching a a great
uh Professor discussing a topic with you
yet and then being able to actually give
a good assessment of it exactly we've
seen we can emulate the actual
discussion part quite good already but
that the strong assessment I think
there's but but probably going to happen
my guess yes it's going to happen I mean
it's it when you have experts who are
good at something that's linguistic in
nature and as you gather those data sets
and constantly give feedback to them you
know even with today's mechanisms which
uh can be improved but even just with
this we can develop uh something like a
human
expert and I mean with that it's funny I
mean this conversation as you know even
a year ago would have all seemed like
science fiction and this is all uh
changing so quickly I I know I feel this
way and I feel like I'm in the middle of
it but still things are changing so fast
you also are probably seeing even
more I want to ask you a long-term
question because who knows what the
world's going to be like in even 20
years but let's say five years which is
I think what most people should be kind
of planning for in their lives whether
they run a company whether they're a
young person for their career what do
you think the world of education and
work is going to look like like paint a
picture are we are we going to be able
to have a video conference with I mean I
I don't want to Cloud your what would it
look like how's it going to be
dramatically different or not than than
the world we're in right now well
there'll be a certain set of jobs where
you're just moving documents around and
looking at documents say you know
accounting or medical claims where the
depth of understanding in those jobs is
pretty
straightforward and some of those jobs
will just be purely
automated then there'll be a ton of jobs
where they're still being done by humans
uh you know like making greeting cards
um and I went back and watched the movie
her uh because it raises uh in a pretty
I thought greeting cards were definitely
going to be automated because now you
can have mass customization of greeting
cards well anyway yeah you you probably
can do it by yourself uh to you know
take you know Dolly 10 uh and say Hey
you know here's how I want to make fun
of my sister remind her about this thing
from the past and here's some photos to
stick in that so yeah you might you
might eliminate the professional there
because it's very uh you and the AI can
do it in a very bespoke way but there'll
be a lot of jobs left that are just more
productive and that you know where you
have this kind of co-pilot that's taking
the you know okay convert the PowerPoint
to a Word document and boom you know
that draft is available for you to uh
have as as the starting point and you
know so that extra
productivity will create you know new
opportunity to take things like Medical
Care and make it better education and
make it better care of the elderly and
and make it better uh you know
productivity is a good thing and people
have been boning and there's many books
about oh you know we had electricity and
then since then everything hasn't been
quite at least the way it reflects into
economic figures as dramatic as what
happened there this you will see in the
economic figures in a big way both the
robotic side of it and the uh llm
reading and writing uh part of it as
well so in five years we will uh be in a
different space you know hopefully we
won't you know elections will still be
uh uncontested and you know deep fak
won't won't make the problems we already
have there even more difficult uh it is
interesting that government at a time
when you know it's not as trusted as
we'd like will have to step forward and
change tax policies and have retraining
policies and you know be part of the
dialogue of setting rules you know the
entire industry is saying you know
there's a role for government here but
uh you know we have at at a time where
trust in that and the divisiveness is is
very challenging so I hope uh you know
that we haven't suffered that much from
the negatives in the The Five-Year time
period And by then uh you know Society
will have reoriented itself and say okay
how do we avoid this being used as a an
attack vehicle how do we make sure it's
used in an equitable way you know
certainly the dreams I have about you
know health and education poor
countries uh you know I think it'll take
us five years to kind of get it out and
get into widespread use five years is a
very short uh period of time but it lays
a foundation where I hope by being more
productive as a society many of the
challenges of Aging or climate uh or you
know people expecting government to do
more than it's capable of doing that
will say wow you know we're making
obesity drugs better better we're making
Alzheimer's drugs better and you'll get
this sort of positive view of the
current system and making not making it
work better in an incremental way versus
uh the divisiveness or you know even
considering radical Alternatives that uh
I think would be pretty scary so
Innovation here because it will surprise
people it's not expected does have a lot
of positive
upside yeah that leads to the last
question which is how are you feeling
you know I my view on AI changes almost
daily as I read more and I think more
and have conversations like this are you
feeling net positive are you really
worried about certain things within your
positivity are you net negative how how
are you feeling about it and what what
are the things you're thinking most
about you know I'm thrilled that when I
you know sit with the malaria team and
we talk about uh how we're going to have
you know better ways of killing
mosquitoes that you know these software
things can help with or you know we sit
and talk about kids who've decided
they're not good at math that we haven't
made much progress uh you know for those
kids uh you know just having all the
ability to try out their knowledge you
know that wasn't enough to draw them in
uh and so that that issue of motivation
and the fact the AI tutor one of its
excellent things will be understanding
the right level the right encouragement
the to make it somebody feel like yeah
this mathematical understanding of the
world is something that can work for me
and make my life better even Beyond uh
what sort of job opportunities it
enables so I I'm very thrilled about
that the world that we're delivering it
into and its ability to have you know
complex factual debates and you know
different countries try out different
regulations I would say that the
political
challenge uh that where everyone says
government has this big big role to play
to take advantage of the positives uh
for example changing the tax structure
and to mitigate negatives you know deep
fakes bias uh AI enabled cyber attacks
uh you know are is our our governance
structures mature enough agile enough
and can they consensus enough uh that
we'll manage this opportunity in a good
way and there are definitely days uh
that I worry uh we won't the government
side of this thing won't step up to
what's necessary yeah well I could talk
to you for several more hours maybe days
about this but Bill thanks for taking
your time out for this this is super
valuable no it's fun to be on this
journey together and uh you know we'll
uh be great partner and help you realize
your
vision great well we appreciate that so
