In this episode of Change is Possible, host Ani Filipova welcomes Mo Gawdat, a former Google executive and AI expert, to discuss the future of artificial intelligence. They explore how AI is already changing the world, the difference between a utopia and a dystopia, and the role of humanity in steering AI toward a positive future. Mo shares his insights from his book Scary Smart, a personal initiative to teach AI about love, and his belief that a more intelligent world will be an altruistic one.

🔑 Key Topics:

  • The "Netscape moment" for AI, and how the public is just now interacting with a technology that has been around for a long time.
  • The difference between augmented intelligence and "machine mastery," where AI takes over and humans are no longer in the loop.
  • Mo Gawdat's startup, Emma, which aims to help people find love by using a swarm of specialized AIs to analyze data and make matches.
  • The idea that higher intelligence, by definition, is altruistic and will not act out of malice or stupidity.
