Bill Gates predicted an increase in the number of AI cyber attacks next year

On October 11, Microsoft founder Bill Gates warned of an increase in the number of cyber attacks using artificial intelligence (AI) in the near future and said that AI would soon bring "many unpleasant surprises" in the field of cybersecurity.

"The area where the most serious changes are likely to occur in the coming year is cyber attacks. There is a well-known business model: you threaten to do something and demand a fee for it, or you provoke a malfunction that affects the stock market or the course of betting, which you then earn," he said in an interview with CNN.

Thus, according to Gates, the real danger now is not that AI will get out of control, but that it will fall into the hands of "bad people."
