Bill Gates on AI:

It’s fair to say that outside of the industry, the awareness of the dangers of AI is extremely low. And you can say that of academia, you can say that of think tanks, you can say that of policymakers, politicians.

And part of the reason that I’m speaking so loudly, as loud as I can, is that you can’t rely on the industry to self-regulate here. I mean, it’s just insane.

The only question in my mind is: do we wait until a cyberattack causes massive damage and a bioattack causes massive damage, and then the monitoring safeguards are required in these models to minimize the chance of that happening many, many more times?

Or can we be wise enough to put these things in and require these things to be put in before millions of deaths?
