MAGNIFICENCE :
''' GATES BLESSED GARBS '''
THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY RISES TO GIVE ESTEEMED Bill Gates a standing ovation. !WOW!, in continuation, then avails itself of the honour to confer on Mr. Bill Gates a lifelong membership of The World Students Society.
Bill Gates says he believes that his foundation goals can be achieved in just 20 years. $200 billion and an end to philanthropy.
ESTEEMED BILL GATES HAS JUST ANNOUNCED A NEW, faster timeline to give away his fortune, aiming to close the doors of the Gates Foundation, one of the world's leading global-health philanthropies, by 2045.
BEFORE THEN, Mr. Gates is committing to spending $200 billion, beginning just about now.
All said, the foundation has spent $100 billion over 25 years. It now intends to double that over the next two decades, focusing on three key goals : that '' no man, or child or baby dies of a preventable cause '' ; that the next generation grows up in a world without deadly infectious diseases.
And that '' hundreds of millions of people break from poverty, putting more countries on a path to prosperity''.
WHILE his goals may be astronomically ambitious, Mr. Gates and his team believes they can be achieved in a compressed timeline - just 20 years, instead of an original vision that would have lasted for decades longer - and he is pouring nearly all of his remaining fortune into making it happen.
In an exclusive interview, he sought to explain his decision - and why it made sense to him, at a critical moment in public health, when the Trump administration's steep cuts to foreign aid have thrown many global health-priorities into jeopardy.
Here are some of the key takeaways from that conversation :
.- Gates calls artificial intelligence a '' magic wand.''
Throughout the conversation, he returned again and again to the promises of A.I. - not just in the era of drug discovery, but as a part of a better delivery mechanism, to make sure that those in need can actually access the world's most powerful tools.
'' The way to think of A.I. is that it's essentially free intelligence,'' he said, '' and in no sense does that mean it will naturally be made available to people in poor countries.''
But if it is made available? '' It's incredible what we will able to do.''
.- But in the short-term, Gates predicted that childhood mortality will increase in Trump's term - and not by a little.
Given the various cuts imposed by the Trump administration, Gates said he expects childhood mortality to go up by a million additional deaths per year.
.- He was stunned by the breadth of the foreign-aid cuts and puts future childhood deaths in Elon Musk's hands.
'' The world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children,'' Gates said, exhibiting a rare burst of real anger about the cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Those cuts, he said, were much larger than he anticipated.
'' I thought there'd be, like, a 20 percent cut. And yes I did not expect that. I don't think anybody expected that. Nobody expected the executive branch to cut PEPFAR or polio money without the involvement of Congress.
What's going on with H.I.V. research and trial network, I didn't expect that either.
.- It isn't just America : Other leaders of rich nations are squeezing their budgets.
'' Take Keir Starmer,'' Gates said.
A day before he's supposed to fly and see Trump, and he's like, Oh, my God, I've got to show that we're serious about defense spending. He's in some meetings saying, OK, how do I increase defense spending from 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent?
And somebody says, We could cut the aid budget from 0.5 percent to 0.3 percent. Nobody says, Hey, what about those kids who won't get vaccines?
