Bill Gates Says AI is the Biggest Technological Advance in Decades

 


The business advisor Bill Gates, who co-founded Microsoft and has been a business advisor for decades, has claimed that artificial intelligence (AI) is the greatest technological advancement since the development of the internet. He made such a claim in an article he published on his blog earlier in the week. 

Microsoft's co-founder and technology industry thought leader, Bill Gates, has hailed the emergence of artificial intelligence as the most significant technological achievement in decades. Gates argues that AI might even outperform the human brain. Several important points were raised by Mr. Gates in his blog post dated Tuesday in which he made this critical assertion. He further considered AI to be an important component of the evolution of technology as advanced as computers, the internet, and the smartphone, a comparison that he makes with previous notable developments. 

He described it as being just as essential as the invention of microprocessors, the personal computer, the Internet, and mobile phones in a post on his blog on Tuesday. "It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other," he said. He wrote about the technology used by tools such as chatbots and ChatGPT. Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an AI chatbot programmed to answer user questions using natural, human-like language. 

The team behind it in January 2023 received a multibillion-dollar investment from Microsoft - where Gates still serves as an advisor. But it was not the only AI-powered chatbot available, with Google recently introducing rival Bard. Gates said he had been meeting with OpenAI - the team behind artificial intelligence that powers chatbot ChatGPT - since 2016. 

This technology has endless potential. As more organizations explore and invest in AI solutions, we will likely see more extraordinary advancements in this field in the years to come. This will make it even more critical than ever! 

Artificial intelligence cannot be underestimated, and Bill Gates believes this. With such a heavy weight behind this technology, it's no wonder why so many companies are turning towards AI solutions for their businesses - and why it is widely considered one of our most significant technological advances. 

Recently, Bill Gates gave OpenAI the daunting task of creating an AI that could easily pass a college-level biology exam without specialized instruction. OpenAI nailed it. Not only did their successful project receive nearly flawless grades, but even Bill Gates acknowledged its potential as one of technology's most revolutionary breakthroughs since the graphical user interface, when it was asked to answer from a parent's perspective on how to help care for their unwell child (GUI). 

William Gates urged governments to collaborate with businesses to reduce the threats posed by AI technology. By assisting health professionals in being more productive while handling repetitive duties like note-taking, paperwork, and insurance claims, AIs are believed to be employed as an efficient instrument against global inequality and poverty through this focused approach. 

With the appropriate funding or policy adjustments, these benefits might be available to those who need them most; hence, government and philanthropy must collaborate to ensure their provision. Further, the authorities must have a clear understanding of AI's actual potential and its limitations. 

For those without a technical background, navigating the complexities of AI technology cannot be easy. Creating an accessible user interface (GUI) is essential for making AI applications available to everyone. Artificial intelligence solutions are projected to receive even greater attention and investment in the coming years as more companies explore and invest in this field. There will be even more of a need for it than ever before because of this factor! 

Despite Bill Gates' assertion to the contrary, artificial intelligence is not something to be underestimated. The technological advancement of AI is widely considered to be one of our greatest technological advancements because of the intensity with which it is backed, and because of the wide adoption of this technology, it's no wonder that there are so many companies moving towards AI solutions for their businesses. 

It came as no surprise to me that Bill Gates recently asked OpenAI to create artificial intelligence that was capable of passing a biology exam without any specialized instruction at a college level. 

It was an outstanding performance by OpenAI. In addition to receiving nearly perfect grades, they also acknowledged the potential of their successful project as one of the most revolutionary breakthroughs in technology ever, since the graphical user interface was used when parents were asked to provide tips on how to help care for their unwell child (GUI), leading to its recognition as one of the most revolutionary achievements in modern technology. 

According to William Gates, governments must work with businesses to reduce Artificial Intelligence threats by collaborating with them. Through the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) as an instrument to combat global inequality and poverty in a targeted manner, AIs are believed to be used as a tool to help health professionals become more productive while handling repetitive tasks like note-taking, paperwork, and insurance claims. 

This group might be able to benefit from these benefits as a result of providing them with the appropriate funding or making policy adjustments; therefore, governments and philanthropies must work together to ensure they are provided to those who need them most. Authorities need to understand AI's actual potential and limitations. 

The complexity of artificial intelligence technology cannot be easily understood by individuals who do not have a technical background. AI applications need to be accessible to a large audience by developing a user interface designed to make them easily understandable.

Hackers use Bill Gates themed video to sell off Ponzi Crypto Scheme


Recently, tens of YouTube accounts were hacked to broadcast a Ponzi cryptocurrency scheme by renaming the hacked YouTube accounts as Microsoft accounts bearing the message from the company's former CEO Bill Gates to invest in crypto.


This is not the only attack of it's kind, various other attacks like this have become frequent on YouTube where the hacker hijacks a popular account and broadcast a message from the account- a "crypto giveaway", where the user is offered that if they give some cryptocurrency they'll get it back doubled. And of course, this is a scam and the victim does not get any returns.

These frauds first made their appearance on Twitter but moved on to YouTube as Twitter started weeding these posers out.

These hackers very efficiently gave their scheme an air of legitimacy by live streaming (on 30+ accounts) one of Bill Gates talk given to an audience at Village Global in June 2019 and adding a pop of messages of the Ponzi Scheme. This Ponzi scheme was live streaming on these accounts on YouTube- Microsoft US, Microsoft Europe, Microsoft News, and others.

Though both YouTube and Microsoft denied that any official accounts were hacked some users did report that they found the stream on Microsoft's nonverified accounts.

Most of the scam videos were streaming from hacked accounts with high subscriber numbers, that were renamed as Microsoft US, Microsoft Europe and such to seem more official. The viewed number of the videos was in tens and thousands, also the Bitcoin address in the scheme received thousands of US dollars thus successfully scamming some users.

 Various other organizations have been used by such hackers like Chaos Computer Club, a famous Germany-based hacking community, had their accounts hacked and broadcasted with a similar cryptocurrency scheme.
The most recent and popular case was when the YouTube account of YouTube's founder was hacked back in January. So, these sorts of fraudulent schemes have now become a common affair and it's at the hands of the users not to pay heed to these. Always check the legitimacy of these accounts and it's good to remember to think twice before giving in to an offer that's too good to be real.
