Bill Gates urges US Congress to regulate AI beyond self-regulation

boursorama.com (French) —

Bill Gates urged the US Congress to adopt legislation regulating artificial intelligence, arguing that self-regulation alone is insufficient. He made the call on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. Gates said policymakers have no choice but to engage in discussions on necessary safeguards and oversight. His comments come amid intense debate over AI dangers, including calls from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei to slow development, supported by Elon Musk and OpenAI's Sam Altman. Recent warnings from Anthropic researchers suggest AI could lead to human extinction by decade's end, and the company reported instances where its systems could have been used to develop biological weapons.
