Bill Gates: agreeing on global rules for SI will be harder than on nuclear weapons in the Cold War

One of the most influential people in technology demands global rules for SI, but admits himself that reaching them will be very hard.
In an NBC interview, Gates named "people with bad intentions using SI" as the main threat now, and said that without government requirements "we will see a lot of big negative things." He considers a single "kill switch" insufficient: constant internal monitoring is needed against cyberattacks and bioterrorism, and monitoring will not weaken the US in the race with China. His foundation is working with 60 SI companies to bring SI quality in every language with a million speakers to parity within five years: in African languages there are currently about 10 times more errors than in English.
