Bill Gates urges global AI governance and a human-first path forward
Bill Gates warns in a lengthy essay that the coming AI era will be turbulent and could either be an equalizer or a source of deep injustice. He calls for urgent global governance to manage AI risks, proposes taxing AI-related tokens and robots while reserving some jobs for humans, and advocates creating a cross-border international body to coordinate oversight—urging US–China cooperation and using his influence to elevate AI and equity on the public agenda.
