This is the best summary I could come up with:

When Noah asked about the threat of artificial intelligence to jobs, Gates said there could one day be a time when humans "don't have to work so hard."

While artificial intelligence could bring about some positive change, Gates has previously acknowledged the risks of AI if it's misused.

Word processing applications didn't do away with office work, but they changed it forever," Gates said at the time.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon said that the next generation of workers will only have a 3.5-day work week due to AI.

"Your children will live to 100 and not have cancer because of technology and they'll probably be working three and a half days a week," Dimon told Bloomberg in October.

Gates once viewed sleep as lazy and told Noah that his life was all about Microsoft from the ages 18 to 40 years old.
