Robots will take most jobs, predicts Bill Gates

Bill Gates has warned it is inevitable that smart machines, powered by artificial intelligence, will replace most human work. In an exclusive interview for The Sunday Times's Danny in the Valley podcast, the Microsoft founder said it was only a matter of time before robots replaced humans in a substantial number of jobs. "Work won't be the central, almost religious activity it is today. That's an inevitability," he said. "Then you'll have all sorts of philosophical questions about purpose."
