Bill Gates, who helped start the technology company Microsoft, has warned that artificial intelligence, called AI, could bring big changes to the world. He said AI could help areas like hospitals, schools, and farming, but many countries are not ready for these changes. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which supports health and education, has announced it will spend $1 billion to help develop AI in these areas.

Gates explained that technology like AI is growing very quickly, faster than many governments expected. He thinks this happened because people and leaders did not plan enough for the fast progress of AI. Gates worries that, without planning, AI could take jobs from people and help criminals do more harm.

As a result, Gates has said that leaders around the world must work together to make plans for AI. He believes that the world must carefully prepare so that AI helps everyone, and does not cause more problems for poorer countries or workers.
