Big Tech Is Incapable of Solving Its Own Problem, Says Mukunda

Bill Gates, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft Corp., published a 6,000-word essay on Aug. 26 saying that he would slow the development of artificial intelligence if he could. He elaborated in an interview with the New York Times, saying "in private, people who understand how good this stuff is, and how much better it's getting, they're very worried" but few are raising the issues in public.
