Mo Gawdat discusses the risks of AI

Mo Gawdat is a renowned entrepreneur, writer and technology expert who has worked at leading companies such as Google and Microsoft. In this Podcast he talks about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and has expressed concerns about the risks associated with its development and application.

Artificial Intelligence is a rapidly growing technology that has proven to have great potential to improve various aspects of our lives, from healthcare and education to transportation and communication. However, it also raises important ethical and social questions that must be addressed with care and caution.

The market works

One of the risks Gawdat mentions is its inevitable impact on the labour market. As AI and automation advance, there are concerns that certain jobs could be replaced by machines, which could result in job loss for many people. It is important to consider how we can adapt our societies and economies to mitigate this effect and ensure that there are meaningful and satisfying employment opportunities for all.

Lethal autonomous weapons

Another risk highlighted by Gawdat is the potential for misuse of AI for malicious or destructive purposes. AI could be used to create autonomous weapons, spread mass disinformation or violate people’s privacy and security. It is essential to establish adequate regulations and safeguards to ensure responsible and ethical use of this technology.

An ethical approach

In addition to the risks mentioned, Gawdat also advocates an ethical and humane approach in the development of Artificial Intelligence. It urges technology leaders and society as a whole to prioritize human well-being and to consider the social and emotional impact of AI on our lives.
