[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds) Bill Gates has just given an interview, and I looked up the date and the facts behind it, and apparently he gave this interview to CBS News, and it was released on or around November 9th, 2026.

[0:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=29) He pretty much says, "We have to have it.

[0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=32) It just is gonna have to happen because there's no other way to teach people that we need to have regulations on AI."

[0:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=38) But one thing that's clear is if you have a big cyber attack that caused a lot of problems, people will say, "Okay, they were right.

[0:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=46) The people who were talking about that were right."

[0:49](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=49) So it may be that we have to suffer a few of the negatives, uh, before we'll, we'll respond as fully as we should.

[0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=59) Uh- I mean, if you hack, if you hack Fidelity or Vanguard and much of the world's trillion-dollar retirement nest egg, that would be a pretty big event.

[1:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=67) Then when some of the negatives start to emerge, you have very concrete ideas in place, so people say, "Okay, you're right.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=77) We don't want that to happen again." So in other words, what it's gonna take for us as a country and a world to tackle this is not just a 12-page essay from Bill Gates, it could be a catastrophe.

[1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/gZBjaiqPGpCa/en/bill-gates-on-ai-regulation-and-a-potential-cyberattack-on-retirement-funds?t=87) That's fair. Wow.
