Summary

So what do you need to know to prepare for the next 5, 10, or 25 years of a world increasingly impacted by artificial intelligence? How could AI change your business and your life irreparably? Our guest today, Mo Gawdat, an AI expert and former Chief Business Officer at Google [X], is going to break down what you need to understand about AI and how it is radically altering our workplaces, careers, and even the very fabric of our society.   Mo Gawdat is the host of the popular podcast, Slo Mo, and the author of three best-selling books. After a 30-year career in tech, including working at Google's “moonshot factory” of innovation, Mo has made AI and happiness his primary research focuses. Motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, in 2014, Mo began pouring his findings into his international bestselling book, Solve for Happy. Mo is also an expert on AI, and his second book, Scary Smart, provides a roadmap of how humanity can ensure a symbiotic coexistence with AI.   In this episode, Hala and Mo will discuss: - His early days working on AI at Google - How AI is surpassing human intelligence - Why AI can have agency and free will - How machines already manipulate us in our daily lives - The boundaries that could help us contain the risks of AI - The Prisoner’s Dilemma of AI development - How AI is an arms race akin to nuclear weapons - Why AI will redesign the job market and the fabric of society - A world with a global intelligence divide like the digital divide - Why we are facing the end of truth - Why things will get worse before they get better under AI - What you need to know to participate in the AI revolution - And other topics…   Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X] and now the host of the popular podcast, Slo Mo, and the author of three best-selling books.
