Bill Gates urges rich nations to expand aid and use AI for lifesaving innovations

New York: Bill Gates told his foundation’s Goalkeepers gathering that “increased generosity” and “the smart use of AI” together could accelerate the fight against inequality, urging the world’s richest countries to expand international aid and apply artificial intelligence toward lifesaving innovations.

“We failed to build in the right human values and ways of keeping our moral code controlling what these AIs do,” Gates, the foundation’s chair, said during a Monday conversation with political commentator Van Jones at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York.

The Gates Foundation is convening Anthropic, Google, OpenAI Foundation and dozens of other organisations to help make artificial intelligence more accessible in underrepresented languages.
