Bill Gates says pausing the development of AI systems will not 'solve' challenges ahead, days after Musk and others cautioned about 'risks to society' from the tech

Two of the biggest names in tech seem to be disagreeing over artificial intelligence, or AI. While Elon Musk called for a six-month pause on the advanced development of AI and to take a step back from a "dangerous race," Bill Gates doesn't think this is the way to go. "I don't think asking one particular group to pause solves the challenges," the Microsoft co-founder told Reuters in an interview Monday. He made the comment a week after Elon Musk and 1,125 others, including AI experts, signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause on advanced development of the tech. The letter, issued by the non-profit Future of Life Institute, has garnered about 9,400 signatures so far.
