Bill Gates was an AI optimist. Now he’s scared of what could go wrong.
📍 Where it landed
{ "epilogue": "Bill Gates shifted from an AI optimist to raising alarms about the technology's dangers, warning that world leaders are unprepared for risks such as vanishing jobs, emboldened criminals, and child development issues. He called for 'human reserved' jobs, proposed policy ideas to discuss with China's Xi, and faced questions regarding Epstein during his AI push.
The coverage concluded without a definitive resolution regarding the long-term outcome of his warnings." }
