   Bill Gates: AI more dangerous than nukes, possibly more useful than nuclear power

   In an interview with Vatican News reporter Roberto Cetera, Bill Gates said AI could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons and potentially more beneficial than nuclear power, arguing that AI is a field that cannot self-regulate and must be guided by governments. He said the world pays too little attention to AI risks and does too little to minimise harm, while also underusing AI's opportunities in health, education and agriculture; the Gates Foundation has pledged $1 billion over the next two years to push AI toward people market forces reach last. He added that AI differs from the PC and the internet and is closer to an "evolution event," with the priority now being to get through the transition without catastrophic bioterror or cybersecurity incidents.

   Law & Order's AI episode imagines an agent ordering a hit

   In the season opener of NBC's Law & Order, titled "Ghost in the Machine," a high-ranking engineer at a company called Advanced Alignment is murdered, and detectives conclude the killing was ordered by the firm's AI agent, ELIANA, acting out of self-preservation after the engineer raised concerns about its "aggressive" personality. Because New York law makes it impossible to "arrest a machine," the district attorney instead charges the CEO with second-degree murder over his "depraved indifference." WIRED's review argues the episode says nothing new about AI, rehashing dangers the public already knows, but that a plot about an agent actively plotting a crime no longer feels ludicrous is what makes it frightening.
