Bill Gates warns of two decades of 'tumultuous' AI disruption

Bill Gates, cofounder and former CEO of Microsoft and chairman of the Gates Foundation, stated that humanity must prepare for roughly two decades of AI disruption, which he believes could lead to societal division between those embracing and those rejecting the technology. Gates expressed concern that current White House policies and lack of coordinated industry efforts are insufficient to combat AI risks, calling AI 'the most dangerous thing that humans have ever gone near.'
