in World News Bill Gates Calls for ‘Vaccine Misinformation’ to Be Censored in Real-Time by AI
by
Billionaire Bill Gates is calling for all questions and concerns about vaccines to be censored in real time by artificial intelligence (AI) as part of an effort to allegedly tackle so-called “misinformation.”
According to the Microsoft co-founder, one of the key missions of his Gates Foundation is stopping the spread of “vaccine misinformation” online.
Gates argues that critics of official narratives regarding vaccines must be silenced in order to convince skeptical or unwilling members of the public that experimental injections are “safe and effective.”
In order to stamp out “vaccine misinformation,” Gates is calling for opinions that counter the official narratives to be shut down with the help of AI.
Gates laid out his vision during an interview with CNBC.
According to Gates, the public’s free speech rights are a major obstacle to his plan.
He lamented that America’s Constitution and its speech protections are standing in the way of AI setting new “boundaries” for the flow of information online.
Gates claims to support free speech but insists that the First Amendment should have “rules” in case a person expresses a view that is “causing people not to take vaccines.”
“We should have free speech, but if you’re inciting violence, if you’re causing people not to take vaccines, where are those boundaries that even the US should have rules?” Gates said.
“And then if you have rules, what is it?”
Gates was less forthcoming about who he believes should have the authority to decide what those rules are, however.
Nevertheless, he insists censorship is necessary and must be ushered in without delay.
Gates argues that allowing people to express views without immediate censorship is causing “harm.”
In order to tackle this alleged issue, Gates is calling for every comment made online to be “fact-checked” and censored in real-time with the help of AI-powered machines.
“Is there some AI that encodes those rules because you have billions of activity and if you catch it a day later, the harm is done,” he said.
It comes as Gates has launched a crusade against free speech in recent weeks.
As Slay News recently reported, Gates demanded just last week that digital IDs be made mandatory in order to supposedly tackle so-called “misinformation.”
