Bill Gates said that a billion people could die because of AI.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates warned that artificial intelligence could drive processes capable of causing the deaths of a billion people if misused.
He stated that if malicious actors were to utilize the most advanced AI tools, the technology could transform into a weapon of unprecedented danger.
Emphasizing that self-regulation by AI companies is insufficient, Gates asserted that governments must also play a role in overseeing the technology's development.
He called on the US government to enact appropriate laws to ensure the safety and regulation of artificial intelligence.
