Just as we regulate planes, cars, and medicines, we need safeguards that help us realize AI's incredible potential while reducing the risks. They won’t eliminate every harm, but they can help prevent misuse by bad actors. We’re not where we need to be yet—and this deserves much more of our attention.

Ken’s incredible generosity will make a huge, lasting impact.

I appreciated the opportunity to speak with @ezraklein at length about the state of AI. I believe the world isn't awake to the dangers of this technology and the choices humanity has to make. AI will either be the greatest tool for opportunity and equality we've ever seen—or the cause of immense, unprecedented harm. Which way things go is up to us. b-gat.es/4AFZZqC

We need to put the appropriate AI safeguards and monitoring in place now—to both prevent a loss of control and stop bad actors from using the tech to cause harm. If we minimize the risks, we’ll get to benefit from AI’s immense potential in fields like medicine, education, and agriculture. nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/v…

Congratulations on an extraordinary career, Warren. I’m lucky to call you my friend and mentor. nyti.ms/475x4OZ

Thank you for the warm welcome, @ncbn. It’s exciting to witness Andhra Pradesh’s growth being accelerated through AI, technology, and innovations across health, agriculture & education.

I’m deeply sad to learn of the passing of Dr. Bill Foege. Bill was a towering figure in global health—a man who saved the lives of literally hundreds of millions of people. He was also a friend and mentor who gave me a deep grounding in the history of global health and inspired me with his conviction that the world could do more to alleviate suffering.​ Bill and I often talked together about the future of global health. The legacy of his career is that many of the remarkable developments to come will have his imprint all over them. ​gatesnot.es/4sZmDqd

Learning how many kids were dying from diarrhea back in 1997—when I never worried about it with my own kids—led me to get involved in global health. gatesnot.es/46lTfBz

Thanks to vaccines, fewer children are dying from preventable diseases around the world. Cutting funding for them would reverse that progress and put millions of children in danger.

The devastating effects of these cuts are entirely preventable—and it’s not too late to reverse them.

Health aid is a small piece of America’s foreign aid, which is itself a small piece of the federal budget. In 2023, the US spent less than one percent of the federal budget on lifesaving global health programs: b-gat.es/4l9AyW1

According to a @UNAIDS analysis, ending PEPFAR-supported programs for people living with HIV could result in an additional 4.2 million deaths by 2029: b-gat.es/4lbD4Lw

Since 2000, @gavi has helped get vaccines to 1.1 billion children. The U.S. announced that, after this year, it’s pulling out all its money. If that happens, Gavi estimates that 75 million children will miss vaccinations over the next five years—and of those, 1.2 million children will die.
