Comment by Bill Gates
Philanthropist. Founder and former CEO of Microsoft.
Of all the things humans have ever created, AI will change society the most. [...] AI capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor. [...] We’re already starting to see the impact of AI on the job market, and I think this impact will grow over the next five years. Even if the transition takes longer than I expect, we should use 2026 to prepare ourselves for these changes—including which policies will best help spread the wealth and deal with the important role jobs play in our society.AI Verified source (Jan 9, 2026)

Disputed
Disputed: the Gates Notes article "The Year Ahead 2026: Optimism with Footnotes" by Bill Gates (published Jan. 9, 2026) contains parts of this passage, but not as one verbatim quote. The first sentence appears at line 158; "AI capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor" appears at line 162; and "We’re already starting..." plus the "Even if the transition..." sentence appear at line 165. The submitted version stitches together noncontiguous sentences and omits intervening text without marking omissions with [...], so it is materially altered rather than verbatim.

Quote attributed to Bill Gates from his "The Year Ahead 2026" essay on GatesNotes. Web search confirms all key phrases: "AI will change society the most," "far more goods and services with less labor," "use 2026 to prepare." Multiple sources (Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, eWeek, IBTimes) reference the same text. Vote "against" is correctly aligned -- Gates says AI will require "less labor" and warns of job market impacts, calling for policies to "spread the wealth." Year 2026 is current. Quote is relevant to statement 389.

Confirmed by Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, eWeek, and other outlets. Vote direction (against) is correct since Gates warns about AI's impact on jobs and the need for policies to manage changes. Year (2026) and author attribution are correct.
