In this episode, we revisit Mo Gawdat’s keynote from SXSW Sydney 2025, where he explores how humanity, not the machines, will determine AI’s ultimate impact. Gawdat explains how today’s neural networks, modeled on the human brain, mark a quiet revolution decades in the making. He calls for using AI to amplify human intelligence, creativity, and problem-solving, while warning against power concentration and passive consumption. The future, he argues, will depend on whether we choose utopian abundance or technological manipulation. Tune in to learn how embracing AI with intention can make us not just smarter, but more human.
