Bill Gates, the billionaire co‑founder of Microsoft, has warned that artificial intelligence (AI) could cause a billion deaths if it is deployed without regulation.
In a recent statement, Gates said that the rapid development of AI technologies poses significant risks that could have catastrophic consequences for global health and safety.
He added that the lack of oversight could allow AI systems to make decisions that harm people on a massive scale, underscoring the urgency of establishing clear rules and safeguards.
Gates has previously highlighted the potential dangers of AI, calling for international cooperation to manage its impact on society.
“Without restrictions, AI could cause a billion deaths,” said Gates.
