Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates has said that developing artificial intelligence without regulation is "completely irresponsible," according to Al Jazeera.
Gates argued that without restrictions, AI technology could potentially "cause a billion deaths," a stark warning underscoring his concern about the pace at which AI systems are being developed and deployed without adequate oversight.
His comments add to a growing chorus of technology figures who have publicly called for stronger regulatory frameworks around AI development, even as competition among major companies to build more powerful systems continues to intensify.
Gates did not detail specific regulatory measures he believes governments should adopt, and it remains unclear what concrete policy proposals, if any, accompanied his remarks.
The comments come amid an ongoing global debate over how to balance AI innovation with safety and ethical considerations.
