Bill Gates warns cyberattacks most imminent AI threat
The Microsoft co-founder is the latest tech magnate to sound the alarm on the threats posed by the technology.
Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has warned that unregulated artificial intelligence poses an increasing threat, predicting a rise in AI-powered cyberattacks in the coming year. In an interview with ABC News, Gates emphasized that the immediate concern is bad people using existing systems without safeguards, rather than AI getting out of control years away.
He said, "The real danger right now is not the AI getting out of control... It's really bad people using AI, particularly in AI where you can take out all the safeguards." Gates called for increased restrictions to prevent bad actors from using AI for bioterrorism and cyberattacks. However, he dismissed the idea of self-regulation by AI companies, stating that it is insufficient to ensure global safety.
