Gates has been publicly concerned about AI X-risk since at least 2015, and he hasn’t yet funded anything to try to address it (at least that I’m aware of), so I think it’s unlikely that he’s going to start now (though who knows – this whole thing could add a sense of respectability to the endeavor that pushes him to do it).

Apparently Bill Gates signed.
Stating the obvious: Do we expect that Bill Gates will donate money to prevent the extinction from AI?
