What happened
Bill Gates
Bill GatesAmerican businessman, investor, and philanthropist (born 1955) published a nearly 6,000-word essay Wednesday warning that governments lack a plan for the “social, political, and economic upheaval” artificial intelligence could cause. The Microsoft co-founder said AI could be “the greatest equalizer ever invented” or “the worst source of injustice,” with many white- and blue-collar jobs disappearing permanently. Gates called for limits on AI deployment, taxes on AI and robots, and “human-reserved” jobs in some sectors. He also urged domestic frameworks and a global body to manage AI risks.
