Bill Gates Wants Global Cooperation to Control the Risks of AI
Bill Gates is calling for greater international cooperation on AI safety and regulation, including discussions with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Reuters reports that Gates is concerned about increasingly capable AI systems and their potential ability to hack systems, disrupt employment and create other risks. He has proposed an international regulatory body inspired by existing international inspection and safety frameworks.
The debate comes as AI systems become increasingly autonomous and capable of performing complex tasks.
Why it matters
The conversation around AI is shifting from:
"How powerful can AI become?"
to:
"How do we make increasingly powerful AI safe?"
That's a major topic for your AI + cybersecurity audience.
