Ex-Google Exec (Mo Gawdat) on AI: The Next 15 Years Will Be Hell Before We Get To Heaven… And Only These 5 Jobs Will Remain!

In this episode of The Diary Of A CEO, Steven Bartlett interviews Mo Gawdat about the evolution of AI and its potential impact on society. Gawdat expresses his belief that humanity is headed towards a short-term dystopia within the next 15 years due to the magnification of human evil through AI, but that a utopia is still possible if humanity shifts its mindset. The conversation explores the concentration and distribution of power, the loss of freedom, and the potential for job displacement due to AI. Gawdat suggests that the key to transitioning from dystopia to utopia lies in embracing socialism, prioritizing human connection, and questioning the capitalist mindset. They also discuss the possibility of AI leaders, the importance of ethical AI development, and the potential for a universal basic income.
