There is no upper limit on how intelligent AIs will get or on how good robots will get, and I believe the advances will not plateau before exceeding human levels.

AI Verified ai_verified: The official Gates Notes article at the provided URL, “The Year Ahead 2026: Optimism with Footnotes,” published January 9, 2026 and authored by Bill Gates, contains this exact wording as part of a longer sentence: it is preceded by “However,” in the original. A reliable secondary report also reproduces the same sentence and attributes it to Gates.

AI Verified Quote confirmed from Bill Gates's 'The Year Ahead 2026' essay on GatesNotes (Jan 9, 2026). Corroborated by GeekWire, IBTimes, Fortune, Yahoo, DNyuz, and TheOutpost. Exact phrasing matches. GatesNotes URL returned 403 but content extensively confirmed. Vote 'for' on 'AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence' aligns with Gates's claim that advances will not plateau before exceeding human levels and there's no upper limit on AI intelligence. Year 2026 matches. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
