Bill Gates on possibility, AI, and humanity

Tune in this week for a feed swap! How many lives will be saved with the help of AI over the next decade?Reid Hoffman and Aria Finger sat down with Bill Gates to discuss his main areas of focus: climate change, energy, global health, and education—and how AI will help transform each of them.
