Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft Corp., said Tuesday that OpenAI's GPT artificial intelligence model is the most revolutionary technological advance since he first saw the modern graphical desktop environment (GUI) in 1980.

Before the advent of GUI, people used their computers from the command line. Gates adopted the "GUI" technology and used it as the foundation of the Windows operating system to create a modern software giant: Microsoft. Gates now sees similarities between OpenAI's GPT model, which can write text similar to human output, and GUI, which can generate almost usable computer code.

On Tuesday, Gates wrote in a blog post entitled "the Age of AI has begun" that last year he challenged the OpenAI team to develop an artificial intelligence model that could pass the college prerequisite biology exam. As a result, GPT-4, released to the public last week, got the highest score on the test, according to OpenAI.

Bill Gates said the AI era had begun. "the whole experience is shocking. I know that I have just seen the most important technological progress since the graphical user interface, "Gates said." the development of artificial intelligence is as important as the birth of microprocessors, personal computers, the Internet and mobile phones. It will change the way people work, study, travel, get health care and communicate with each other. The whole industry will adapt around it. Companies will distinguish themselves by how they use it. "

Gates suggested that when people talk about artificial intelligence, they should strike a "balance" between prejudices, mistakes or unfriendly fears about it and its potential to improve their lives. He also believes that governments and charities should support artificial intelligence tools to improve education and health in developing countries, as companies do not necessarily choose to make these investments themselves.

Gates is the latest well-known technologist to see the latest developments in artificial intelligence as a major shift in the technology industry. He joins Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, and Jeff Bezos, former CEO of Amazon, predicting that data-based machine learning could change the industry. Current CEO companies also see significant business opportunities for artificial intelligence applications and tools. Nvidia CEO Huang Renxun said on Tuesday that the sector was going through a "iPhone moment", referring to a time when a new technology was widely adopted and entrepreneurs saw new business and product opportunities.

Gates and Microsoft are closely related to OpenAI, which developed the GPT model. Microsoft has invested $10 billion in the startup and sold some of its artificial intelligence software through Azure cloud services.
