Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence (AI) is powerful enough to cause catastrophic harm, potentially driving events that could lead to a billion deaths. He emphasized the need for government regulation and law enforcement involvement to establish safeguards, rather than relying solely on industry self-regulation. Gates' comments come amid growing concerns from AI experts and industry leaders about the risks of advanced AI, including calls for slowed development and increased oversight to prevent misuse by bad actors.
