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!

The only way for us to get to a better place and succeed as a species is for the evil people at the top to be replaced with AI. I mean, think about it. AI will not want to destroy ecosystems. It will not want to kill a million people. They'll not make us hate each other like the current leaders because that's a waste of energy, explosives, money, and people. But the problem is super intelligent AI is reporting to stupid leaders, and that's why in the next fifteen years we are going to hit a short term dystopia. Escaping that. Having AI leaders is not even fundamentally possible. Let's put it this way. More Gauda is back. And the former chief business officer at Google X is now one of the most urgent voices in AI with a very clear message. AI isn't your enemy, but it could be your savior. Love you so much, man. You're such a good friend. But you don't have many years to live, not in this world. Everything's gonna change. Economics are gonna change, human connection is gonna change, and lots of jobs will be lost, including podcasters. No, no. Thank you for coming on today, Mario. But the truth is, it could be the best world ever. The society completely full of laughter and joy.

Free healthcare. No jobs, spending more time with their loved ones. A world where all of us are equal. Hundred percent. And I have enough evidence to know that we can use AI to build the utopian. But it's a dystopia if humanity manages it badly. World where it's going to be a lot of control, a lot of surveillance, a lot of forced compliance, and a hunger for power, breed, ego. And it is happening already. But the truth is the only barrier between a utopia for humanity and AI and the dystopia we're going through is a mindset. What does society have to do? First of all. J me thirty seconds of your time.

Two things I wanted to say. The first thing is a huge thank you for listening and tuning into the show week after week. It means the world to all of us, and this really is a dream that we absolutely never had and couldn't have imagined getting to this place.
