  "account": "San Francisco - Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, has expressed concern over the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to cause the deaths of a billion people, stating that the technology is powerful enough to trigger such catastrophic events. In a recent interview with NBC, the 70-year-old stated that AI poses a significant threat compared to any other weapon, particularly if it falls into the hands of malicious individuals.\n\nGates acknowledged that it would be \"pretty hard\" to target \"100 percent\" of the population, emphasizing the urgency of enacting legislation in Washington to address the issue. He argued that both authorities and politicians need to agree on mandatory safety measures and oversight to regulate the technology.\n\nGates stressed that no one believes self-regulation is sufficient and that recent hacking attacks by AI software have even convinced leading laboratories such as Anthropic and OpenAI, developers of ChatGPT, to call for a slowdown in the development of artificial intelligence.",
