White House Petition To Investigate Bill Gates For ‘Crimes Against Humanity’ Gains 568K Signatures
May 19, 2020
The “We the People” petition demands the federal government call on Congress to investigate the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, stating that “Congress and all other governing bodies are derelict in duty until a thorough and public inquiry is complete.“
The viral petition created on April 10 reached the goal of 100,000 signatures within days and is currently the second most popular petition on the site.
As the White House “We the People” website explains, the petition platform empowers every American citizen “to become an agent of change” – and, if a petition gains 100,000 signatures in 30 days, the White House will “make sure it gets in front of the appropriate policy experts”:

IBM, Microsoft sign on with Pope Francis to fight AI bias and misuse of facial recognition
February 28, 2020
Ethical concerns around potential job loss, facial recognition, and bias have been raised surrounding the future impact of artificial intelligence on society. On Friday those concerns were elevated to a “higher authority,” with IBM and Microsoft lending support to a set of ethical principles backed by the Vatican.
Such principles were outlined in a document titled “Rome Call For AI Ethics,” and promotes a regulatory approach around what is being called an “algor-ethical” vision of design, with transparency, inclusion, responsibility, impartiality, reliability, security and privacy all factored in.
“AI systems must be conceived, designed and implemented to serve and protect human beings and the environment in which they live,” the document reads. “It must include every human being, discriminating against no one; it must have the good of humankind and the good of every human being at its heart; finally, it must be mindful of the complex reality of our ecosystem and be characterized by the way in which it cares for and protects the planet….”
The document specifically flagged the “higher risk of impacting human beings” around facial recognition.
Pope Francis has been raising concerns around AI for more than a year, according to IBM executive vice president John Kelly III who, along with Microsoft president Brad Smith, attended a conference at the Vatican.
"He was worried about technology’s effects on society and families around the world and its potential to widen the gap between rich and poor," Kelly told USA TODAY. "Of particular concern: artificial intelligence, the technology most adept at mimicking the best and worst of human qualities. How could the world harness AI for the greater good, while reducing its potential to be a force for evil?"
"But we don’t think this call to action should stop with the Vatican," Kelly added. "Leaders of all the world’s great religions, as well as right-minded companies, governments, and organizations everywhere, should join this discussion and effort."
