Gates believes that high-income countries, which includes the US, will actively start implementing AI within a year and a half to two years.

In medicine, scientists are trying to use AI to fight antibiotic resistance, treat risky pregnancies and other tasks. Most of these developments are still in the early stages, Gates said.
