Bill Gates compares AI to alien intelligence in movies where ‘magically the US and China’ solve the problem together — warns world governments that they’re not ready for AI
TL;DR
The billionaire philanthropist says that governments across the world need to work together to ensure that the people are ready for upcoming upheaval brought about by AI. He even compared the technology to aliens in movies which got the world working together.
Nauti's Take
When one of the best-known AI optimists urges preparation this forcefully, it is an opportunity to push jobs, security and education higher on the political agenda. The analogy has limits: in the movies the US and China unite overnight, while in reality they are racing each other for AI leadership.
For companies and schools, the practical move is to start upskilling now instead of waiting for global agreements.
