The New Yorker Radio Hour
Bill Gates on His New Memoir and Dining with Trump at Mar-a-Lago

Yeah, and the sort of societal wave, including politics. But, you know, the fact that outrage is rewarded because it's more engaging, that's kind of a human weakness. And the fact that I thought everybody would be doing deep analysis of facts and seeking out the actual studies on vaccine safety, boy, was that naive.

When the pandemic came, people wanted some evil genius to be behind it, not some bat biology. So We haven't solved even the challenges of social networking. AI is much broader in terms of what it brings, and it's going to reshape the job market in a pretty dramatic way. And of course, leisure time is supposed to be good as long as people have a sense of meaning and purpose and all of that.

And the debate about how we deal with the reduction in shortage of doctors, teachers, and yet, what do we replace that with? I think that debate is still pretty simplistic and, you know, not many good solutions that I've seen.

Well, Sam does not pretend to have all the answers. And I will give him credit for saying that the politicians need to learn AI and get involved and figure out what those regulations should look like.

No, I'm not. Politicians are in charge and democracy is better than any alternative. I was surprised in the 2024 election how little AI got discussed. I expect that the primary topic of the 2028 election will be policies around AI. You know, how do you change taxes, job markets? How does the government take advantage of it? What does it mean about war?

Well, My regrets, there's a lot of things that took me a lot longer to learn than it should have. Drawing in people with different skill sets and not just being oriented towards scientific IQ, that took me decades longer than it should have. Without going into any specifics, I was sad that I divorced Melinda.
