Bill Gates, Microsoft's founder, warned that artificial intelligence poses a greater danger than big tech companies will be willing to admit publicly. During an interview with The New York Times newspaper, Gates expressed skepticism about the technology industry's ability to self-regulate effectively.
The billionaire strongly criticized the idea of self-regulation in the sector, stating emphatically: "Self-regulation for the most dangerous tool ever invented? No, thank you." The statement highlights his position that external control and oversight mechanisms are necessary to mitigate the risks associated with AI.
Gates thus joins a growing group of influential voices in the technology sector who have expressed concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence. The warning comes at a time when AI regulation continues to be debated worldwide.
