Bill Gates advocates for legislation to regulate AI
Gates said self-regulation is not enough and backed federal legislation, as major AI leaders warn of risks and support slower development.
- On Sunday, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates called for federal AI legislation, expressing a desire to meet President Donald Trump to discuss these concerns directly.
- A sudden wave of support for federal intervention emerged this month after researchers assigned likelihoods to potential risks, with Gates asserting, 'No one thinks self-regulation is enough.'
- Gates expressed openness to a federally controlled 'kill switch' to halt AI models, though he argued other safeguards must also be implemented to be effective.
- President Donald Trump dismissed calls for new AI laws as a 'hoax,' arguing restrictions would give China the upper hand, though Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has a dinner scheduled with the President.
- Washington and China agreed to launch a dialogue on AI following President Jinping's recent visit, creating a parallel international track to Gates' domestic legislative push.
