Bill Gates publicly argued against AI industry self-regulation, saying no entity—including governments—currently has deep enough understanding of AI's societal impact.
He called for creating an 'international organization' to regulate AI, noting that 'the depth of understanding of AI is too low in every entity, including the government.'
The remarks drew mockery from some corners of X, fueling the ongoing debate over whether AI should be governed by industry self-policing or international oversight.
