According to Cnbc, Bill Gates has urged governments and society to address artificial intelligence risks through a new framework that protects work he believes should remain in human hands. In a 6,000-word memo published on his personal website, the Microsoft co-founder warned that AI could become either a major equalizer or a source of injustice.

Gates described caregiving as a potential “Human Reserved” field, drawing on the care his father received before his death from Alzheimer’s in 2020. He wrote that there was something “irreplaceably human” in that care and said no robot could or should have provided it. He also raised questions about AI’s role in teaching and skilled trades such as carpentry.

The proposal would establish jobs where machines would not replace workers simply because automation is technically possible. Gates acknowledged that deciding which roles qualify is difficult. His broader argument is that technological capability should not by itself determine what society chooses to automate.

He also proposed a “token tax” that would increase the cost for companies replacing employees with AI tools or agents. The resulting funds could help workers who lose jobs. Gates called for changes to tax systems so businesses are not economically rewarded for replacing people with AI and robots.

Gates expects AI disruption to move faster than earlier technological shifts because the systems can spread through devices and infrastructure already in use. He said entry- and mid-level jobs could disappear before people adjust, and predicted significant disruption within the next decade in medicine, law, middle management and manufacturing. He called for national and international institutions to manage the transition through a public democratic process involving officials, educators, health workers and community leaders.
