Bill Gates says to prepare for 20 years of ‘tumultuous’ AI disruption

Summary

Bill Gates, cofounder and former Microsoft CEO, has argued since an August essay that the transition to the AI era will be among the most turbulent periods in human history. In interviews he called AI "the most dangerous thing that humans have ever gone near" and said the White House policy response and the industry's lack of coordinated effort are insufficient. In this Decoder interview, he says society should prepare for roughly two decades of AI disruption that could split people between those comfortable near the technological frontier and those who reject it.
