Bill Gates

CNN Anchor Anderson Cooper returns with a special one-on-one interview with Microsoft founder and philanthropist Bill Gates.

In this wide-ranging sit-down, Gates tells Cooper about the moments that shaped him, from his childhood in Seattle to co-founding Microsoft at age 20, fueling the personal computer revolution that has become part of our everyday lives. Gates unpacks the stories revealed in his new book Source Code: The Origin Story of Bill Gates.

Gates speaks with emotion about the influence of his parents on his life and his unique way of thinking as a child. He visits his alma mater, Lakeside School, an elite all-boys private institute at the time of Gates's enrollment, and a place he credits with his transformation into an engaged student and fanatical computer programmer by the age of 13. It would also be the place where he would befriend his Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. After reflecting on his past, Gates discusses his thoughts on the future, including his recent meeting with President Donald Trump, Elon Musk intervening with USAID, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence.
