The Microsoft co-founder said that the more present danger is bad actors with access to AI tools.
After several CEOs of leading AI companies have agreed on slowing down the pace of AI development, Bill Gates has offered supporting sentiments and called for more regulation and safeguards.
When asked about the kill switch approach to curb AI, Gates said that, "I would never want to say that I'm against a kill switch," but added that this approach wouldn't address a more imminent danger. Gates said the more pressing concern is when bad actors tap into the power of AI to aid with bioterrorism or mass financial fraud incidents.
