Fox News, the New York Post, The Daily Caller and the Daily Mail report that Bill Gates, in a Sunday interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, warned that artificial intelligence could fuel cyberattacks over the next year. According to Fox News, Gates said malicious actors are gaining access to powerful AI models without adequate safeguards, and that criminals could exploit them to disrupt financial systems and extort businesses. The outlets say Gates argued that more safeguards are needed, comparing them to rules for planes, cars and medicines, and said society is not doing enough yet. Gates also told Tapper that responsible AI leaders are warning of concerning scenarios, though he said some negative scenarios can get overblown.
