  "account": "Bill Gates criticized President Trump's perspective on artificial intelligence, stating that it reflects a societal blind spot. Trump contends that the risks posed by AI are overblown, likening them to past technologies. Gates disagreed, emphasizing that AI could transform the world rapidly, surpassing human intelligence. The Microsoft co-founder warned that AI could be misused for harmful purposes, including bioterrorism and financial hacks. Gates noted that most people remain unaware of AI's swift development, comparing it to an evolutionary event. He emphasized that AI will disrupt various industries, including law, customer service, medicine, software, and manufacturing, potentially replacing more jobs than it creates. Gates' foundation is investing $1 billion to advance large language models in non-English languages, aiming to improve access in regions like Africa where support is lacking.",
  "summary": "\"Most of society is still not aware of how quickly it's moving,\" Gates said of the latest advances in artificial intelligence.",
