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. The public is already convinced the tech industry can’t be trusted with its own creations. Some legal news last week explains why. A bipartisan coalition of 51 attorneys general announced a proposed settlement with Meta Platforms Inc. that obligates the social media company that runs Facebook and Instagram to put tight restrictions on how children use its platforms. Gautam Mukunda, Lecturer at the Yale School of Management and Bloomberg Opinion contributor, joins Bloomberg Intelligence to discuss. (Source: Bloomberg)
