In a new Netflix series, What’s Next? The Future With Bill Gates, the Microsoft cofounder and philanthropist digs into a few of his biggest obsessions: the potential (and risk) of artificial intelligence, how to tackle climate change and malaria, and how to deal with misinformation and income inequality. We talked to him about some of the solutions—and about an episode in which Bernie Sanders told him that billionaires shouldn’t exist.
