Bill Gates isn’t too scared about AI. Is the chairman right?

"According to Gates, AI is "the most transformative technology any of us will see in our lifetimes." That puts it above the internet, smartphones, and personal computers, the technology he did more than most to bring into the world. (It also suggests that nothing else to rival it will be invented in the next few decades.)"

"Gates notes that AI is already a threat in many fundamental areas of society, from elections to education to employment. Of course, such concerns aren't news. What Gates wants to tell us is that although these threats are serious, we've got this: "The best reason to believe that we can manage the risks is that we have done it before."
