Gates Sounds Alarm on AI, Calls for Government Regulation

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has expressed his concerns about the impending era of artificial intelligence, describing it as 'one of the most turbulent times in human history.'

Gates believes that governments need to regulate AI technology, specifically by keeping some jobs off-limits to machines and taxing AI tokens and robots.

He made these comments during a conversation with Ina Fried, Axios' chief technology correspondent, which was recorded on August 31, 2026.

Gates is calling for governments to take action before it's too late, stating that the world is not yet prepared for the impact of AI.
