AI Alert: Gates Calls It Deadliest Tech Yet

Bill Gates has thrown his weight behind a serious warning about artificial intelligence. He described the technology as the most dangerous thing humans have ever created. According to him, AI poses risks that surpass those of cars, airplanes, and pharmaceuticals combined.

Gates argued that big tech firms cannot rely on their own rules to keep things safe. He pointed out that cars, planes, and medicines are all tightly controlled by government regulators. Using this example, he made a case for why AI deserves the same kind of oversight.

Beyond existential threats, Gates also worries about everyday life. He believes automation might steal many jobs from workers. To counter this, he suggested that governments should consider taxing AI systems and robots. Some experts think protecting certain roles could help people adapt.

The billionaire plans to talk directly with President Trump about these issues. Earlier, another former Anthropic worker named Jacob Coxon shared a grim estimate. He said there is a ten percent chance that AI could end humanity within the next ten years if companies do not act fast.
