Bill Gates says AI without regulation is ‘completely irresponsible’

The billionaire cofounder of Microsoft says without restrictions, AI could ‘cause a billion deaths’.

Not requiring AI to have safeguards and be subject to outside monitoring is “completely irresponsible” and could lead to global harm to humanity, said tech mogul Bill Gates, in a series of media appearances where the philanthropist weighed in on global discussions concerning how to regulate the technology.
