Bill Gates on AI:

The most dangerous thing we’re facing right now is people with bad intent using the AI. So somebody who wants to defraud an individual, or wants to shut down the electric network, or scramble bank accounts — they are now empowered.

Historically, countries had cyberattack teams and they could think of things like bioterror weapons. Now small groups with AI can do what only the biggest countries could do.

So it’s really the bad intent plus AI that looms as a major threat unless governments insist on various safeguards.

We will see a lot of big negative things because we’re not safeguarding.
