Bill Gates warned that AI could destroy a billion people

Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates called on US authorities to legislatively regulate the field of artificial intelligence. He believes that modern AI technologies possess enough power that, if they fall into the hands of malicious actors, they could lead to the deaths of up to a billion people.

In an interview on NBC News' Meet the Press program, Gates stated that self-regulation and self-discipline alone by technology companies are insufficient to ensure safety.

In his opinion, politicians and law enforcement agencies should be directly involved in developing protection mechanisms and a system for monitoring algorithms.

Gates admits that government requirements will create an additional administrative burden for the industry, but, in his estimation, this should not significantly slow down the development of innovations.

Gates' statements came amid discussions in the US about the need to slow down the development of artificial intelligence technologies. The heads of the country's largest research laboratories are participating in these discussions.

Gates emphasizes that the main risks are associated not only with AI models themselves, but also with the lack of external control over how these technologies are implemented and used.

The full interview with Gates is scheduled to air on September 27 on NBC News' Sunday broadcast. It is expected to continue the discussion of government oversight of the development of generative artificial intelligence.
