Bill Gates stated that current artificial intelligence tools are already powerful enough to cause events that could lead to the deaths of 1 billion people.

Gates: Self-regulation by companies is not enough

According to him, in the hands of malicious actors, modern AI tools become the most powerful weapon in history. He believes that self-regulation by AI companies is insufficient and that laws, mandatory safety measures, and government oversight are necessary.

Additional measures will not sharply slow AI development

Gates believes that such requirements will only slightly increase the burden on companies and will not lead to a sharp slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence technologies.
