"Bill Gates warns AI is powerful enough to cause "a billion deaths."
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates made this remark during an interview on NBC's 'Meet the Press'.
However, he did not suggest that AI would destroy the world or kill a billion people on its own. His main point centered on the risks associated with using artificial intelligence for malicious purposes. He warned that if individuals with malicious intent were to weaponize this powerful AI technology, the resulting cyberattacks, bio-weapons, or other major catastrophes could cause the deaths of approximately one billion people worldwide. In his view, the combination of modern AI technology and bad actors is poised to become the most lethal or powerful weapon in human history.
He further emphasized that self-regulation by tech companies is insufficient; therefore, it is crucial to ensure strict policies and oversight by governments and law enforcement agencies regarding the use of AI.
