Bill Gates Pushes Back at Trump: AI Risks Are Not a Hoax

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pushed back against Donald Trump over the risks posed by artificial intelligence, rejecting the idea that concerns about the technology are a hoax.

Gates’ response adds his voice to the growing debate over AI’s future and how seriously its potential dangers should be taken.

The disagreement centers on the credibility of those concerns. Gates’ position rejects dismissing the risks as fabricated, rather than treating them as a subject for scrutiny.

The brief account did not provide Gates’ exact remarks or detail the Trump comments he was responding to. It also did not identify specific AI risks or measures Gates advocated to address them.
