Bill Gates has released his renowned list of annual predictions, claiming that 2024 will be a turning point for the better when it comes to AI, climate change, medical technology, and more. Gates believes that this is the year AI will become more mainstream as industries and individuals begin to integrate the technology into their daily practices. The 68-year-old billionaire thinks the next phase of innovation will be focused on improving global health and reducing poverty, both things that AI has the potential to help with. He envisions a 2024 with fewer malnourished children, more revolutionary AIDS treatments, and safer pregnancies in developing countries. When it comes to clean energy, Gates predicts nuclear will be the next frontier. Gates encourages the public to remain positive when it comes to thinking about the future— there is a lot of potential for 2024 to be a monumental year.Â
