Bill Gates Claims AI Executives Are Privately Alarmed but Publicly Silent on Job Loss Threats

Bill Gates says AI bosses are privately scared and publicly silent; Here's why

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says the AI industry is knowingly downplaying the risks of artificial intelligence because too much investment money is at stake. In a new interview and a nearly 6,000-word essay, Gates warns of mass AI job losses across law, medicine, software and customer service, calls for a token tax on AI use, and pushes for global rules on AI bioterrorism risks. He also wants caregiving jobs reserved for humans.
