Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates believes an international organization is necessary to manage the upcoming “turbulent” transition to artificial intelligence because, in his view, “there is no plan to ease the entry into the AI era.”

In a nearly 6,000-word essay published on his website, Gates called for an international and domestic framework to deal with AI. He said while countries will have their own established bodies, they “will still be exposed to risks that cross borders,” which is why a global body will need to be created.
