Bill Gates Has an AI Plan for You " American Greatness

Bill Gates says AI is an urgent threat and argues action should start now, well before any worst-case forecasts play out. In a lengthy essay posted to his website, the Microsoft cofounder calls for a centrally planned approach covering employment, education, taxation, energy, elections, public health, finance, law enforcement, transportation and public lands, plus a new national and global regulatory body. The article also contrasts his warnings with past pandemic-era policy positions tied to COVID lockdowns and vaccine rollouts. It cites U.S. student math and reading gaps worsening since pre-COVID levels. The piece argues Gates hasn’t acknowledged harm and has shifted focus to AI.
