I don’t think it’s a dramatic problem in the next ten years but

So we need to convince Gates that even though unfriendly AI almost certainly won't appear in the next ten years, he should devote resources to the problem now.

Does he think that it isn't worth investing in yet?

Him thinking that it won't appear in the next ten years doesn't mean he thinks that we shouldn't devote resources to it yet. Has he done things that imply that he doesn't think it's worth investing in yet (I genuinely don't know)?
