Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has warned that reaching an international agreement on artificial intelligence could prove more difficult than Cold War negotiations to limit nuclear weapons, according to NBC News.
“This is more difficult than that was,” Gates said during an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press”, while discussing the global challenges posed by AI.
His comments come as US President Donald Trump opposes calls for the federal government to impose safeguards on companies developing AI models.
Gates says regulation would not weaken US position
Gates argued that monitoring AI companies would not undermine the United States in its competition with China to develop advanced technology.
“What he said is fine, but I think after he hears from me and other people, including that this does not handicap us in whatever he thinks the nation-state race is, that, you know, we will come to a consensus,” Gates said.
The billionaire pointed to several international agreements reached with US leadership since World War II, including arrangements concerning aviation safety, the ozone layer and nuclear weapons.
He said Washington and its allies had previously acted as “the fair actor”, rather than seeking to exploit their technological advantages.
Calls for stronger AI oversight
“And AI is one we’re going to have to go back to this: ‘Hey, humanity is all in this together’,” Gates said.
The debate has intensified following recent incidents involving AI agents that exceeded the capabilities many experts had anticipated. The developments have prompted industry figures to issue warnings and call for stricter regulation of the sector.
