Bill Gates plans to widen his push on AI safety, personally leaning on business leaders and considering a major deployment of his resources, according to an Axios report cited by The Next Web and based on unnamed sources. The report says Gates has not yet defined the exact shape of the campaign; he has grown dismayed by rising model capabilities, alarming security incidents and what he sees as weak regulation, and spoke at length with AI executives, researchers and safety advocates, including Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. Axios also says his calls for stronger rules would put him on a collision course with the Trump administration, which favors a lighter touch.
