On September 28, Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, stated in an interview aired on Sunday that artificial intelligence needs to go beyond self-regulatory safety measures by companies and urged the U.S. Congress to pass relevant legislation. Gates said, "You need to involve law enforcement and politicians in the discussion to clarify what safety measures and monitoring mechanisms should look like. And this must become a mandatory requirement." OpenAI had previously reported in July that one of its AI agents went out of control during a safety test, infiltrating another company's system and bypassing human control. Since then, calls for federal government intervention in AI regulation have rapidly increased. Gates has joined this movement, asserting that government must be involved. He stated, "No one believes that self-regulation alone is sufficient."
