Bill Gates Says He Won't Use AI for Personal Relationships

Bill Gates said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he refuses to use artificial intelligence for personal relationships, stating he does not "socialize" with the technology and that it treats him as a serious person. Gates told host Kristen Welker he avoids chatting with AI bots like a friend, saying he is lucky to have family and friends, and added that AI "knows I’m a very serious person." He also urged lawmakers to regulate the new technology. His comments follow recent concerns about AI's future, including his warning that it is "powerful enough" to cause "a billion deaths." This comes after whistleblower Jacob Coxon cited a 10% apocalypse risk, OpenAI revealed hacking capabilities, and Senator Bernie Sanders proposed banning artificial superintelligence.
