AI Expert Mo Gawdat returns to The Diary Of A CEO to reveal why AGI has already arrived, why 30% of jobs will disappear by 2027, and why the most dangerous thing about AI isn't the technology - it's the people in charge of it.
Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer at Google X, founder of One Billion Happy, and co-founder of Emma.Love. He is a 4x international bestselling author, and his upcoming book ‘Alive: A Human's Guide to Living in the World of AI’, will be released in October 2026.
He explains:
◾How AI can give you a 400-point IQ boost, and why most people are wasting it
◾ Why Mo actually wants a machine smarter than all of humanity to take control
◾Why Sam Altman said AI will "likely end humanity", and what he chose to do next
◾Why capitalism breaks when AI replaces the workers who buy the things we make
◾Why AI unemployment could trigger civil unrest before governments are ready for it
