Bill Gates

On 28 September, in an interview with the NBC Meet the Press, the co-founder of Microsoft Bill Gates warned that AI's ability was sufficient to promote events that had killed a billion people. He stressed that the risk lay in the use of the latest AI tools by malicious persons, which he considered to be more powerful than any weapon in the past. In a long article published on the personal website in August, Gates explained the basis for his concern that AI would lower the threshold for cyberattacks and bioterrorism and allow offenders with limited capacity to attack infrastructure such as hospitals, financial institutions, water and electricity systems..
