AXIOS (Jim VandeHei) - Behind the Curtain: It's not too late

The White House, Congress and the country's leading AI companies have allowed AI to grow faster, stronger, more powerful and wildly lucrative (and dangerous), with no serious effort to control it or spread the benefits beyond the super-wealthy. - It's not too late to change this. But if they all dither, duck or dance around it, the chances of AI worst-case scenarios will explode, likely early next year, according to almost every person we talk to privately who truly understands AI. Why it matters: The technology is getting better, faster than anyone envisioned — with the possibility rising that AI will self-improve and do wildly unpredictable things. - The good news: There's now a growing public cry for attention and action and, at…

AMERICANALMANAC (Alan Benson) - Bill Gates says AI could enable bioterrorism and erase millions of jobs — while tech executives hide the risks

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates published a sweeping 6,000-word warning that artificial intelligence is advancing at an "uncontrolled" rate, accusing fellow tech executives of suppressing their own fears to protect fundraising.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates published a sweeping 6,000-word warning that artificial intelligence is advancing at an "uncontrolled" rate, accusing fellow tech executives of suppressing their own fears to protect fundraising. Gates, 70, laid out the case in an essay titled The Turbulent AI Era Is Here. The Choices We Make Are Critical, released Wednesday. He paired it with comments to The New York Times in which he described private conversations among industry leaders who understand how powerful AI has become, and how deliberately they avoid saying so in public. The picture Gates paints is blunt: AI will make it easier to design deadly diseases, strip entire professions of work within a decade, hand authoritarian governments autonomous…Open
