Microsoft founder Bill Gates wrote on the 26th that the rapid development of artificial intelligence has brought about fairness issues; it has either become the most powerful “equalizer” in history or the most serious source of injustice. To solve social problems brought about by AI, the US and China need to cooperate. In this 6,000-word article, Gates combined his experiences at Microsoft and the Gates Foundation to share the two facets of AI — both presenting huge opportunities and harboring multiple risks. He said that AI already has amazing capabilities and is evolving at an incredible speed. For the first time, it can replace or even surpass human cognitive ability, and “the transition to a new era of AI will also be one of the most turbulent periods in human history.”
