Gates predicted AI's potential years ago

Gates saw the AI revolution coming nearly a decade ago: When asked which industry he'd focus on if he had to start over from scratch, he quickly chose AI.

Imagine how dull you would have to be to be impressed by this. In 2015, a time when we already had a wide array of technological miracles at our fingertips, and most people had never known a world without exponential growth in computing technology, the computers billionaire predicted that computers would become even more computer. Fucking genius. Who else could have possibly seen that coming?
