Even Bill Gates thought school was boring as a kid. While in middle school, Gates didn't find learning "interesting," he recently said on his "Unconfuse Me" podcast, in an episode featuring Khan Academy CEO Sal Khan. But the teacher spotted potential, and took the opportunity to encourage Gates to put some effort into his education. Gates went on to develop his mathematics and coding skills in high school, before dropping out of Harvard University to co-found Microsoft in 1975. "I do think the AI will be like a great high school teacher who really marks your essay, and you go back and think, 'OK, I need to step up there,'" Gates said.
