During Sunday’s episode of “Meet the Press” … he told host Kristen Welker that he’s not chatting with an A.I. bot the same way he would a friend.
He admitted … “I’m not like, ‘Hey, do you like me? Hey, am I a nice guy?’ So I just never went down that path, because I’m lucky in terms of my family, friends and everything.”
He added … “I don’t socialize with the A.I. It knows I’m a very serious person.”
Bill’s comments — which include a plea for lawmakers to regulate the new technology — come amid a flurry of concern about the future of A.I. in the past month.

Worth noting, Bill weighed in on the A.I. vs. humanity debate … and while he didn’t give a definitive answer, he did say that the A.I. is “powerful enough” to cause “a billion deaths.”
This conversation comes weeks after A.I. whistleblower Jacob Coxon came forward warning there was a 10% chance of an A.I.-caused apocalypse … shortly before OpenAI revealed several alarming instances of the technology’s hacking capabilities — and Sen. Bernie Sanders introduced a bill to ban of all artificial superintelligence.
Even Donald Trump — who calls the worries surrounding A.I. a “hoax” — has said he wants to create an A.I. Force.
