Bill Gates: AI is like “nuclear weapons and nuclear energy” – both dangerous and promising

As Stanford launched its brand new Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, Bill Gates as the keynote speaker spoke at depth just as he has in the last few years about his hopes and fears for Artificial Intelligence (AI), reported The Vox.

As per the Stanford Daily, Gates said, “The world hasn’t had that many technologies that are both promising and dangerous the way AI is.”

He further added that so far it was good that the world had nuclear weapons and nuclear energy both.

This comparison with nuclear energy and nuclear weapons of of Artificial Intelligence which is usually utilised to show users ads, play games, write stories, and create photographs might seem high strung to some. However, many experts affirm that it’s warranted, the report said.
