immediate risk. For Gates, AI “getting out of control” is a danger for years to come. What’s important is something else: “The front that we’ll probably see most strongly next year is cyberattacks.”

Companies are not enough. He also rejected that self-regulation of AI companies is enough to keep the world safe, an idea championed by US President Donald Trump, according to AFP.
“For the most dangerous technology ever invented by humans, this is the last word, that companies are the only control that society has (…) It is clear that we are not doing enough,” he concluded.
