Bill Gates warns governments are unprepared for AI upheaval

Bill Gates warned on Tuesday that governments worldwide are unprepared for the social changes artificial intelligence will bring, citing risks like job losses, cyberattacks, and psychological harm. He called for international cooperation, including between the U.S. and China, to manage the technology. The Gates Foundation announced plans to spend at least $1 billion over two years to expand AI access in education, healthcare, and agriculture, with OpenAI committing $50 million to train health workers in Rwanda. Gates argued AI could narrow the gap between rich and poor if managed fairly.
