Bill Gates says the next generation should be ‘very afraid’ of these four issues.
Bill Gates said he grew up worrying about nuclear war, but future generations will have to be concerned about that as well as bioterrorism and climate change—to name a few.
Bill Gates has laid out what he believes should be on the agenda for the next generation to address.
Having been born in the 1950s, the Microsoft cofounder said one of his greatest fears growing up was the threat of nuclear war.
And while this issue is far from resolved, the billionaire philanthropist also highlighted a handful of further issues that people his children's age will need to address.
Speaking to Patrick Collison of the Computer History Museum last week, Gates explained: "A nuclear war or a super bad bioterrorism event, or not shaping AI properly or not bringing society together a little bit around the polarization. Those four things, yes, the younger generation has to be very afraid of those things."
