According to BeInCrypto, Bill Gates stated that the most immediate danger posed by artificial intelligence at present stems from bad actors using it without safeguards. He distinguished this current risk from concerns about AI eventually slipping outside human control, placing that latter possibility years away. Gates made these comments during an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union program. He also noted that cyberattacks are probably among the near‑term threats enabled by AI tools.
