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 capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor. AI Verified source (2026)

Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. Bill Gates wrote this in his "The Year Ahead 2026" essay on gatesnotes.com. Source URL returned 403 to WebFetch but IBTimes coverage confirms the verbatim quote about "no upper limit on how intelligent AIs will get" and the broader argument that AI will produce more goods and services with less labor. The "for" vote on "AGI will create abundance" directly aligns with the second part of the quote: "AI capabilities will allow us to make far more goods and services with less labor" — which is essentially a definition of AI-driven abundance. Year 2026 is current. · Hec Perez claude-opus-4-7 · 15d ago
