Bill Gates is in the same camp as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk when it comes to smart robots. All three are worried about artificial intelligence and what smart robots could do when they go online. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates talked about his stance on AI during a Reddit AMA. Gates said:
I am in the camp that is concerned about super intelligence. First, the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that, though, the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.
Gates continued to say he does not understand "why some people are not concerned." While big names in the tech sphere such as Musk and Gates have revealed their hesitation, others are enthusiastic and Gates doesn't seem to think that pure enthusiasm is the way to go.
