Mo Gawdat returns to London Real with a stark warning: artificial intelligence is advancing at breakneck speed, and humanity may be unprepared for its consequences.
The former Google X executive reveals how AI capabilities now double every 5.7 months and warns of an approaching “AI Cold War” driven by unchecked capitalism and fear.
In his latest publication, Alive – Conversations About Life When Technology Becomes Sentient, he explores how AI could reshape or even destabilize human society. This essential conversation dives into the urgent need for regulation, ethical development, and collective wisdom — because, as Mo says, “the real challenge isn’t AI, it’s human intelligence.”
