Microsoft Corp co-founder Bill Gates said government safeguards against potentially catastrophic artificial intelligence (AI) risks won’t hamper the US in its competition with China, contrasting with President Donald Trump’s largely hands-off approach.

"Certainly, all countries should want the safeguards in place,” Gates said in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press. "So anyone that says, ‘Well, you know, China won’t put these safeguards in place’ – I totally disagree with that.”

微软公司联合创始人比尔·盖茨表示，政府为防范人工智能（AI）可能带来的灾难性风险而采取的保障措施不会阻碍美国与中国的竞争，这与唐纳德·特朗普总统基本上不干预的做法形成鲜明对比。

“当然，所有国家都应该希望落实这些保障措施，”盖茨在接受NBC《会见媒体》节目采访时表示。“所以，任何说‘中国不会落实这些保障措施’的人——我完全不同意这种说法。”

比尔·盖茨力推人工智能的“智能应用”，同时他的基金会也在构建更具代表性的语言数据。

盖茨基金会警告称，人工智能可能加剧不平等，该基金会承诺投入10亿美元扩大人工智能的普及应用。
