New York: (RightNow) Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warns that the potential misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) poses severe threats to humanity. He states that if this technology becomes uncontrollable, up to 1 billion people could be at risk.

Gates explains that the powerful capabilities of AI, if misused, could lead to serious consequences for the world. He urges governments to take effective measures to address the dangers posed by artificial intelligence.

He further emphasizes the need for responsible global use and effective monitoring of AI to ensure its safety. Governments should adopt a joint strategy to prevent this technology from being used against humanity.

It is noteworthy that recent weeks have seen several significant cybersecurity incidents, including an OpenAI system hacking Australia’s health department. This raises questions about whether the latest AI companies have full control over their models.

Despite concerns about the potential misuse of AI, some governments oppose strict regulations. Leaders of OpenAI and Anthropic have appealed to the United Nations to lead a global alliance to set AI safety standards.
