Bill Gates, in an interview with Reuters last Tuesday (4), says that stopping the development of AI will not solve the possible problems associated with the technology. The Microsoft co-founder spoke out against a letter signed by figures such as Elon Musk and Steve Wozniak who call for AI regulation.

Bill Gates: “The age of artificial intelligence has begun”

The Reuters interview is Bill Gates’ first public comment since the publication of an open letter signed by more than 1,000 AI experts. For him, stopping development and waiting for regulation does not solve the problem. “I don’t think asking a specific band to take a break solves the problem.”

With the advent of tools such as ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI (with which Microsoft has a partnership), the topic of artificial intelligence has taken over the technology market. While some people look to the future with hope, others worry about the impact of technology. According to Gates, it is necessary to “identify sticky areas.”

Bill Gates is a supporter of AI

So far, Bill Gates is taking the opposite direction from other big names in the tech industry like Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, and Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple. Gates himself wrote on his personal blog Gates Notes that the age of AI has begun. The post was published on March 21st.the day before an open letter calling for technology regulation.

In an interview with Reuters, the billionaire confirms his positive attitude towards AI, and also believes that it is very difficult to regulate technology at the global level. “I really don’t understand who they say can stop and all countries in the world agree to stop and why stop.” According to him, it will be very difficult to get all people and different governments to agree on the regulation of AI.
