Bill Gates called for higher taxes on billionaires, otherwise artificial intelligence will make the rich even richer, - Fortune

According to the Microsoft founder, AI development threatens to sharply increase social inequality: owners of technology companies and investors will receive huge profits, while millions of people may face job and income losses.

"We cannot rely on charity as a social safety net. The primary responsibility for combating inequality always rests with governments," Gates said.

He proposes taxing not only the ultrawealthy but also robots and AI systems that replace workers.

Gates himself promised to direct nearly all of his fortune — about $100 billion — to charity over 20 years.

Билл Гейтс призвал повысить налоги для миллиардеров, иначе искусственный интеллект сделает богатых ещё богаче, - Fortune

По мнению основателя Microsoft, развитие ИИ грозит резко усилить социальное неравенство: владельцы технологических компаний и инвесторы будут получать огромные прибыли, тогда как миллионы людей могут столкнуться с потерей работы и доходов.

"Мы не можем рассчитывать на благотворительность как на систему социальной защиты. Главная ответственность за борьбу с неравенством всегда лежит на государствах", - заявил Гейтс.

Он предлагает облагать налогами не только сверхбогатых, но и роботов и ИИ-системы, заменяющие работников.

Сам Гейтс пообещал направить практически всё своё состояние - около $100 млрд - на благотворительность в течение 20 лет.

A rather curious video about what the US electoral map would look like if, in the midterm elections of 2026, only certain groups of the population had voted The authors show how the country's political map changes depending on whose votes are counted: men, women, white voters, independents, or rural residents. The same United States, the same elections — but completely different results. A vivid illustration of how deeply polarized society is in the country. By the way, more than two years ago i...

🐘 A U.S. senator called for the immediate resumption of military aid to Ukraine and for "hellish" sanctions against the RF Democrat Richard Blumenthal said that after the Democrats' electoral victory, Congress should "seize the moment": resume arms deliveries to Ukraine, primarily air defense systems, tighten sanctions against Russia, and tear up Trump's "shameful" deal with Moscow on diesel fuel.
