summary: "Government restrictions on artificial intelligence will not impede the competitiveness of the US against China, Bill Gates said. The billionaire joined other advocates in calling for the adoption of AI safeguards and the passage of formal legislation to govern the technology's development. This push for regulation contrasts with the strategy of President Donald Trump, who has maintained a largely hands-off regulatory stance toward the industry. Gates argues that the government can establish protections to prevent potentially catastrophic outcomes without compromising the national lead in the AI race."
