Google.org is providing over $9.5 million in funding across five organizations—CUNY (CITE), Fab AI (with DeepMind and the Gates Foundation), Krause Center for Innovation, Teaching Lab (piloting Coherence OS), and 1EdTech Global—to support development of AI tools, education-focused models, and public infrastructure for teachers and students.
In a Verge interview and following an August essay, Bill Gates said AI is “the most dangerous thing” humanity has approached and urged preparation for roughly two decades of disruptive change that could split society and upend labor, while criticizing current policy and industry coordination.
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."
