Bill Gates wants 40% of jobs reserved for humans as he sounds alarm over AI

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates plans a November visit to China to propose joint international initiatives with President Xi Jinping to address escalating artificial intelligence risks, including global monitoring of AI capabilities that can synthesize molecules and carry out biological attacks, with regulatory frameworks similar to nuclear inspection protocols. Gates also advocates taxing AI companies that replace human workers and reserving up to 40 percent of jobs exclusively for humans to mitigate social disruptions, and he designated managing an AI-driven future that avoids exacerbating inequality as the world's top priority, ranking it above climate change and global health crises.
