Bill Gates Speaks on the Dangers of Artificial Intelligence

Microsoft founder Bill Gates talked about the dangers that artificial intelligence may cause in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press program. Gates stated that the technology is "powerful enough to trigger events that could cause the death of a billion people."

Gates attributed the threat to the use of artificial intelligence by malicious people and said, "There has never been a weapon as powerful as the combination of malicious people with the latest artificial intelligence tools."

''IT IS NOT ENOUGH FOR COMPANIES TO AUDIT THEMSELVES''

Saying that it is not enough for artificial intelligence companies to determine their own security rules, Gates said, "No one thinks that self-control is sufficient." he said.

According to Gates, politicians and law enforcement should also participate in the discussion on security measures and how to control, and artificial intelligence should be regulated by law.
