## Summary

Bill Gates tells The Verge that AI will bring about two decades of disruption that could be very painful and split society into those who embrace frontier technology and those who reject it. He says AI's progress over the past year, in coding, vulnerability discovery, biology reasoning and labor displacement, means society must prepare. He adds that the timeline could shift by a few years in either direction.
