Bill Gates employs artificial intelligence to:

• Automate white-collar tasks
• Develop productivity-enhancing tools
• Expand the capabilities of code, law, and medicine

My journey is born of corporate collapse, poverty, intergenerational gaslighting, and ethnic fragmentation. These experiences have shaped my perspective on technology, pushing me to forge AI from the ground up—not from privilege but from resilience.
