Bill Gates was asked how much of an existential threat do you think machine superintelligence will be? Gates said: “I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern. I agree with Elon Musk and some others on this and don’t understand why some people are not concerned” Gates also admitted that had he not started Microsoft, he would probably be a researcher on AI.”]
