Gates Foundation pledges at least $1B to expand AI in health, education and agriculture after Gates warns of AI dangers
The Gates Foundation will invest at least $1 billion over two years to make AI tools more widely available in health, education, and agriculture, according to reporting in The Decoder. Bill Gates warned that over 90% of training data for early language models came from English sources, noted speech recognition fails about 60% of the time in Yoruba, and said the market is "a terrible guarantor of equal opportunity."
