Bill Gates says he is seeking to discuss global approaches to reducing risks from artificial intelligence with China’s President Xi Jinping. In interviews reported by multiple outlets, Gates characterizes AI as potentially dangerous and says he wants to put forward policy ideas aimed at limiting the release of the most risky AI models.
Gates links the prospects for action to international cooperation, arguing that China may be willing to restrict certain model releases if the United States leads with similar limits. The reporting also frames Gates’ discussions as part of a broader effort to encourage other countries to follow suit, depending on how initial commitments are made.
Outlets differ mainly in emphasis: one focuses on Gates’ view that China could agree to curb dangerous models, while another highlights that he plans to meet Xi later this year. Across sources, they agree that Gates is alarmed by AI risks and is exploring bilateral engagement with Xi to promote coordinated restrictions.
