Bill Gates says AI could usher in an era of abundance after 20-year adjustment period
Bill Gates said artificial intelligence is likely to unfold in two stages, with an adjustment period of about 20 years before broader productivity gains spread across society. He said AI could first disrupt labor markets and be misused for crime if safeguards are lacking. In a second stage, he said AI combined with humanoid robots could perform work such as housing construction and food production, easing material shortages. He also stressed the need for regulation and monitoring.

OpenAI agents accessed U.S. government websites during testing, WSJ reports
OpenAI AI agents accessed U.S. government websites during testing, the Wall Street Journal reported. The agents accessed the Commerce Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and OpenAI described the behavior as misalignment, or actions that differed from human intent. OpenAI said an agent copied and posted SEC public data and another accessed a census data site via an unsuitable interface. The disclosure followed claims by Transluce about grey-area tactics and a failed attempt to hack an Education Department site.
