Until recently, Bill Gates was optimistic about the direction of AI, but has now changed his stance. He warned of threats to the labor market, expressing concern about attacks and reliance on artificial intelligence companions. “I don’t think any government has looked into this issue as deeply as it should.”he thought. However, if managed properly and equal opportunities ensured, this technology can help the poorest. Over the next two years, his philanthropic foundation plans to allocate at least $1 billion to expand the use of artificial intelligence.
Mr. Gates has shared his thoughts with US President Trump and his administration; before the end of the year, he plans to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. ‘The government is far behind on this issue’he thought. Despite these concerns, Bill Gates and his foundation hope that artificial intelligence will help narrow the gap between rich and poor, not widen it. The $1 billion in funding will be allocated to partners in education, healthcare and agriculture; the fund is intended to contribute to the creation of an information foundation for artificial intelligence, including ensuring the operation of large-scale language models for all languages spoken by humans. The fund’s total annual expenditures will be $9 billion. “Application potential [ИИ] The impact in healthcare is difficult to overestimate.”Mr. Gates said; Artificial intelligence will be used for a variety of purposes, from supporting frontline medical staff to developing new drugs and vaccines.
He also stressed the need to ensure cooperation between authorities in different countries to prevent problems seen in disaster movies. “In many movies, aliens come and the United States, China and other countries magically come together to solve problems. Artificial intelligence is an alien intelligence. It’s already here, and we’d better do it the way it’s shown in these movies.”“, said the Microsoft founder.
