Bill Gates will warn that AI could drive events causing a billion deaths. He will say no weapon has ever matched AI combined with ill intent. He will make the remarks on NBC’s Meet the Press this weekend. Gates has increasingly sounded alarms on AI dangers. He released a memo in August calling AI more consequential than almost any other technology. He argued AI could be the greatest equalizer or the worst source of injustice. He said the current course risks a net negative outcome. He urges governments and political parties to work together to prevent AI from spiraling out of control.
