AI digest

On 22 October 2026, The Verge reported that Bill Gates said in an interview on Decoder that society must prepare for about 20 years of AI turbulence. He said the transition could be painful enough to split society into two groups: those willing to live near the technological frontier and those who reject technology. Gates believes the response to AI risks is not fast enough, and said the biggest near-term danger comes from models without safety safeguards.
