[Gates Warns: Trump Administration's Inaction on AI Regulation Could Lead to Biological Weapon Risk] (1) At the “Future of Artificial Intelligence” summit in the UK, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates pointed out that the Trump administration's ineffective regulation and inaction on artificial intelligence could lead to the creation of biological weapons more dangerous than the COVID-19 pandemic if advanced models are freely available. (2) Gates emphasized that efforts by many countries to build regulatory frameworks have stalled due to the White House's inaction, and said: “Without the participation of the United States, the action will be of little effect. How many tragedies will have to happen before they change their stance?” (3) In the face of rapid technological development, Trump has always opposed strong government intervention, not only denigrating the G20 AI guidelines as a “globalist conspiracy”, but also advocating for self-regulation by technology companies. (4) Gates said that in the face of fierce competition among many giants, industry self-regulation is ineffective and non-governmental intervention is unlikely to break the deadlock; he urged the US government to develop model safety standards and lead the construction of a large-scale monitoring network covering air, sewage and blood to intercept potential infections at the source. (5) Gates revealed that OpenAI and Anthropic will both release new models this year, and two more major launches are scheduled for 2027; “the model itself going out of control” is no longer a distant hypothesis, but an imminent real threat. (6) In addition to calling for stronger third-party audits, Gates also advocated for taxing the super-rich in the context of artificial intelligence profoundly reshaping society, and for accelerating the application of AI in medical fields such as drug development.
