Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has said, “Finding a way to ensure that the advent of digital superintelligence is symbiotic with humanity is the single biggest existential crisis we face.” This quote encapsulates Mo Gawdat’s views and opinions in his best-selling book, Scary Smart, a roadmap detailing and predicting how AI can inevitably take over the human race. Mo Gawdat joins Willy Walker on this week’s Walker Webcast as he breaks down the evolution of AI, humanity’s cognitive limitations in controlling AI’s rapid growth, his biggest fears for the future of AI, its use in war and prevention in future disasters like COVID-19, and our responsibility as users in teaching AI to have “our best interests in mind”. Mo Gawdat describes AI not as machines but as “digital beings with experiences, fears, consciousness, and emotions”, capable of deep learning. He likens them to infants, absorbing every piece of knowledge being fed. “The more data you give them, the more they can see and observe patterns,” he adds. He emphasizes humanity’s refusal to take accountability in raising these “artificially intelligent children”, waiting for the government to control the inescapable doom of them disrupting our lifestyles, economies, political landscapes, and overall welfare. Mo Gawdat continues to warn us of the machine’s ability to sway public reasoning and opinions through social media algorithms. “They’re doing that in billions of recommendations every day…and then you start to realize that we are already in a place where we’re dominated. We’re already being told by the machines what to do.” Tune in to this new episode of the Walker Webcast — The Future of AI with Mo Gawdat, Author of Scary Smart and Former Google X Executive.
