Gawdat sounds so kind. He speaks with such eloquence. I just love listening to him talk about AI. Please keep warning us about what needs to be done to keep our children and grand children's future safe.
First time watcher/listener here. Thank you so much, James, for being such a gracious host by listening to a your guest at an AMAZING capacity. I can’t remember the last time I recognized the beauty of such stunning humility, attention, and appreciation. Happy New Year to you, good sir.
That’s so nice of you to say. I had one commenter say yesterday that I should go and learn how to interview and ‘roast my guests like a BBC interviewer”. I really appreciate your kind feedback and support 🙏
@JamesLaughlinOfficial I couldn't help but agree with how compassion and love could save the human race in regards to AI. It almost felt so obvious when he said it; the solution right there, in front of our faces, staring back at us. Thank you for this special interview. As an interviewer, you did a phenomenal job. I will be using this for my public speaking course that I instruct at university.
Thanks! I suffered terribly from Madonna's confession album were she sings "the point of no return" and I felt lied to. AI has saved me from all the lies, providing answers to how we return from car exhausts like hers as clean oxygen from Klamath lake AFA in Oregon after passing through Crater lake and wood river
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial about the second listen, biggest takeaway, on being productive and the error of just doing more. I’m an artist, lucky enough to sell most of what I paint. This summer it sold faster than I could paint, so I tried to get into high gear and just paint more. What a stressful time, really, and I just began to wilt. Not all artists are like that and at higher levels they can just ramp up. But for me not having « being » time where I could stare off into space, and just let the ideas simmer, greatly diminished my pleasure in painting and my happiness to be free to just explore and fail. I think creative people my have a mind that needs this more than some others.
Wonderfully done was this conversation and my heart opened to even more depths that has reignited my passion for playing this game of life! Thank you thankyou thankyou
Mo is an amazing human- I'm an artist and a healer and learning the most poignant lessons of life "being good" apologising to a person- it's a moment of high accountability to goodness to harmony to love. Yerrrrrr yeiy he raises the love bar. We are grateful for this moment to have encountered this beautiful podcast! Rea leboga Siyabonga 🤘🕯️ 🙏 🌸 🌸 💖 Thank you
He is so down to earth. A great interview of one of the top professionals in the tech industry. Mo Knows. If anyone understands AI and where it's headed, this guy has it pinned.
He really is very down to earth - a great human through and through. I’m delighted you enjoyed the interview. If there were three other tech titans you think I should interview … who would they be?
What does that mean, down to earth? I'm only 5:22 in and he's babbling about hyper masculine mind-set, masculine vs feminine approaches to problem solving, and apparent self-agrandizement about his ability to write books - before he writes... He's running himself like a program. Not learning from the process of writing. But only he knows if his quiet time includes, Self-Inquiry
@aughlinOfficial as long as it doesnt try to become god itself, or he will close his eye for a moment and reboot. you cant become greater than the universe itself
there is such a thing as the law of diminishing returns, computers are already better at certain tasks because we programmed them for such tasks, but it's a stupid thing, actual AI, not machine learning algorithms, may be smarter, but it doesn't know more than what we already know ourselves, we can use it to learn more, but to think that AI somehow is a villain like Skynet, keep things from us and try to destroy us somehow, is just doomsaying, you can just as well believe it will try to help us, it might just come out and say, we're beyond saving, as far as it can see, think about that. A billion times smarter is rather meaningless, when you realize even the smartest people in the world don't themselves become world leaders or world destroyers, they just keep living regular lives like most of us and as far as I see it, AI will simply become an ubiquitous tool, part of humanity, like your "smart" phone.
Actually it's already closer than that right now it's advanced to much and that's why the creators are trying to get people's attention it's to late it's close to human intelligence already and by the time people realize it it'll be far to late and we need to prepare all of society all people because theirs nothing we can do to stop it it's already in motion for far to long but it's why people need motivated
A billion times faster, sure thing, but smarter, nope. Those that think we as humans can actually create an 'entity' that is smarter than us is not only naive and clueless about how computers work but also is borderline insane. Ai will be as dangerous or 'smart' as it's controllers behind it want it to be, it will never have it's own will, aspirations, ambitions or any other human characteristics than define the human condition. Ai will always be a human construct with it's limitations, a tool like anything else we have created, nothing more. Careful of the snake oil peddlers warning about Ai taking over the human race, they will be the ones hiding behind the curtain pushing it's buttons.
So glad I watched this, Great job interviewing, wonderful questions , your reactions to Mo's wisdom and brilliance on both science/personal were so interesting (and WOW is he a genius.... and so also thanks for a COMPLETE overview and priceless understanding of the whole picture)
Thanks so much for your kind and supportive feedback. I really appreciate it. I’ll interview Mo again soon. If you wanted me to ask him a question, what would it be?
You’re most welcome, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I’m starting to put together my guest list for 2024 - do you have any recommendations of great potential guests?
Hi James, I haven’t gone through all the comments but I was with you intensely following Mo and his wisdom. Really, really pleased how you just let him talk and not try and influence the conversation. I can imagine how a paid interviewer like on a TV show would have had to butt in to ensure they asserted their thoughts etc. well done for all the encouragement you showed and your attention to every word he said. Just a great UA-cam video, thank you.
Hi Mike, thanks for your kind feedback. I really appreciate it. It’s always an honour to interview guests and I try my best to ask questions and then be quiet to let them open up. I’ll interview Mo again soon. Is there a question you’d like me to ask him?
(I am another person but) I'd like to ask, does he think the learning will slow down as it surpasses us because there won't be all that data from us to learn from? I have heard of AIs teaching each other but there needs to be some kind of input. Also won't it help make us smarter too, having something more intelligent to interact with. Like a caveman won't invent the telephone but it's not such a stretch once you have a foundation of knowledge to jump off from. @@JamesLaughlinOfficial
I have a question for Mo. AI can write so much better and faster than I can but how can I keep my own voice? Thanks for an enlightening and fascinating conversation that’s truly change the way I see AI.
Thanks for checking out the interview Seva. Mo really is an amazing human. I’ll Interview him again in the near future. Is there a question you’d like me to ask him?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Hi James, I’m new to your show, and love it!! I think Mo is wonderful. I would ask him how humans can keep from worshipping these beings and retain the perspective that while these creatures have a higher intelligence, they are not God?

@@JamesLaughlinOfficial the part about politicians not talking about AI. There's elections in the Netherlands in November. I'm trying to 'wake them up'to the stuff Mo's talking about here...
I really hope you do! A number of politicians here in New Zealand have watched this episode and contacted me about AI. You should share this with your politicians.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial The realisation that if AI intelligence parallels dogs to humans, we will have a huge problem. The other aspect I have been mulling over today is that fact that we can’t stop AI. Even if the internet was shutdown and servers wiped, for sure some actors would retain an AI framework and simply re-establish it. I have been getting my colleagues to watch it also, we are a software development business. The guys need to appreciate that AI will take over the lower level coding, so they need to develop system architecture skills. Thank you.
What an inspiring and loving man, wow. And for the first time I feel and understand what I personally can do to craft a.i. to let it become a positive development for all on earth. Thank you sincerely from The Netherlands ❤️
Andre, I am so glad you enjoyed the episode. Please do me a huge favour - please share the episode with a friend or two and hit the subscribe button. Thanks so much, James
Getting AI to align the right way, during and after development, and then again during further development, is extremely, mindbogglingly complicated, with 90% of all material describing it being of philosophical nature, and the other 10% being code complications. In a nutshell. I am no expert but have been following AI dev intensely for the last few years.
Mo Gawdat is just awesome loved the conversation. However, I wanted to point out the host has been such a unique self..... Just so lovely the way he presented himself and interacted. Something I find missing in the way we interact with another human being. Thank you both. Made my day ...
@james Laughlin Thank you so much for this truly inspirational conversation. It helped me understand the topic of my life's purpose in a completely new, fundamental, yet pragmatic way in the context of dealing with AI. May life bless you, your guests and viewers/listeners!
Never ceases to amaze me that super intelligent people 🙈 decided in their infinite wisdom to create something that could wipeout humanity 🥴 good job guys well done you geniuses 👏
I hear you! I’m in my late 30s and have a seven year old child. I often wonder what life might be like for him… do you think there are positive possibilities in store too?
I am 47 and very glad to not have kids. I wouldn't want to know what to do to protect them from the horrors of the internet while still enabling them enough Access to feel free. Everything became so complicated. And there are no values except having money anymore. It's a nightmare.
No need to imagine. Just observe children in the 5 to 10 year old range for awhile. Ask a school teacher about them. They will be so narcissistic, it will make narcissistic examples of the boomers look mild
Born in 99, there’s nothing left in this world for us. It’s like being placed into a game of monopoly where everybody else has already been playing. All the property is owned, the only thing for you do to is go to jail or go bust….
I wrote a whole book about it.......I was on the other side 4 hours ten minutes.......engulfed in TOTAL LOVE.....Never been the same. As a multi millionaire, realized if you cannot take it with you, it is not worthy of pursuit. Simplified drastically...... to a much more enjoyable lifestyle STRESS FREE !
There's a kingdom that treasures money can't buy . You will be filled with Love, happiness, joy, Peace, self control, kindness and it's free given too. I was once myself own a business but I was empty inside until I received this free given gift. I woke up happy, joy, love, strength, motivation, kindness, peace also self control against the enemy or emotional and feelings attack. I'm in this kingdom now and money I use to have can't dominate what I have now. Everything it's start from spiritual realm to physical realm. The amazing part is it's free.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Well. . . I personally have liked to build things fix things etc example i have a custom built a computer that i use currently and proud of it watercooled custom loop anyways 🤓 i love computers an like Mo a gamer since i was a child and love his gaming analogy relative to lifes meanings metaphorically was perfect! 💯 So i don't know how to code which is a language i do not understand and hearing from Mo that eventually it will be so smart and speaking amongst itself in its own language is kinda scary yet profoundly amazing too humans made this is mind boggling smart device made of silicone plastic an metal that is going to be smarter than einstein very soon if not already is wild 🤯. But like he also said closely is essentially the AI is a product of its creator almost like some humans are products of their environments. I think almost to the movie 5th element with Bruce Willis an Le-lu the girl like learns about humans an gets accustomed to the times after they reanimate her from a friggin hand AI potential lol an sees all our human histroy an violence towards eachother. Fastforward to the end they save the world only when bruce willis tells her humans deserve to live because we love. Idk i hope AI loves. And sees the good in humanity and has oir best interest at the root of its programming. Cure Cancer. Solve energy issues. Maybe even design better political structures idk the possibilities could be endless! Lol like i pray that AI once general an truely sentient will not judge us to harshly and the truth is we truely are a threat to ourselves. You know more people die from tripping than getting shot. Old stat i read lol if so that is wild too... sure humans we do wild things i ride motocross and skateboarding snowboarding etc so extreme sports, worst is Wars, naturally but self declared choices to go and Wing suits, Rock climbing free hand, Land speed records in wild hand made vehicles haha idk humans are awesome and AI can be too. And having our best interests like an overbearing mother isn't always healthy growth either? So im just on the "fence" if you will. I robot could truely be a thing in my opinion. Some movies have come true already! Like Mo said though no going back now 🤷♂️ Have you seen the story of the Sony photographer contest and the repeat winner submitted an AI image and the years before won with his own but this year i believe submitted this image and again won only to reveal he submitted an AI image in an effort to raise awareness soon it will submit its own images and win like everything else touches the game GO an Coding like mo said. It was a beautiful picture and thats where i had seen hope that humans are using it to make and show humankind softer side and some beauty through the artist and to me thats still his input. Like the stroke of a keyboard or prompt as mo says and it will do it an be the best at it! I could talk for days about it but thats to much i feel already! I went to school some everyday students given pencils to do their job an one kid is going to throw it and stick it in the ceiling. Someone will be malicious with such a powerful tool. Sad but true. But the rest of the class hopefully stays focused and the trouble makers get detention lol! 🤓😂🤣 Thanks for asking my opinion James! 🤜🔥🤛 I am sorry i went on a rant a lil' bit! 👽✌💪🌎🌏🌍💞🤣😂 Take care, best of wishes an blessings for you and your families James an Mo! keep up the good work, new subscriber! Maybe you could interview that photographer who won that sony contest that would be interesting to hear story!
yes, i use technology like Chatgpt and Dall e a lot. I am of the view that the only way to tackle with the threat of AI is to positively engaging with them.
It was such a great podcast. Recently I saw a podcast from a channel with about 500k subs where the interviewer expected the guest to just spit out as many words as possible. This podcast was different. While the guest talked the majority of the time, both people in the conversation were just as invested in it and that's why this video was very meaningful
I think we've had more than enough 'mic drop' moments about AI. The fear of AI is no longer a subject that's not being discussed enough or swept under the carpet. It's receiving a lot of attention and gaining momentum. Hundreds of thousands have heard the brilliant Mo Gawdat's warnings about AI by now. We know the dangers are related to the lack of conscious humans and their pursuit of perceived power. Mo has done a fantastic job spreading the word. Thank you Mo your are an amazing mind and I love everything you say on the subject, now that we all understand, what are we going to do about HUMANS?
Mimi - thanks for this. And you are right. The problem is a human one. Where do we start to change? Personally, I believe the only place to change behaviour is around the dinner table one family at a time.
Slim to none chance surviving advanced technological changes. Humans are savage and they kill and destroy. We're just too wild and can't be tamed, not completely. Earth still has secluded stone age tribes scattered across the globe.
We'll do the same exact thing humans always do when approaching a cliff, we'll ignore it and march over the ledge like a pack of Lemmings dragging the few who tried to stop us along for the ride.
Never heard his name or warnings before today. That doesnt mean I havent thought of the ramifications. When robots were replacing blue collar nobody cared. Now doctors, and lawyers are worried about being replaced..... So now its time to talk to the public about this "problem"
This would have been a great interview if Mo actually let James ask any questions 😂😂 but in all seriousness, Mo is such an intelligent guy, and it's a pleasure to hear him speak!
😂 Mo has a lot to share with the world. And I was happy to listen more than speak. I never learn much when I speak anyways! What was your biggest takeaway from Mos insights?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial My biggest takeaway was definitely the human ethics part of it, and I strongly agree with Mo in that we have to make it our UTMOST priority to train the AI to emulate the kind-spirited nature of humankind... Which he also correctly added is far more prevalent than the bad-natured side of humankind!
You're totally right. There might be tension and crises around the globe right now... but the vast majority of humans are kind people. Do you think we can impact change at a familial level through positive media and education?
As a victim of people I loved and who I had no reason to believe didn't love me just as much back, family, I can only conclude that demonstrations of love are meaningless to many people you would consider good and loving.
Thanks for your comment. I’m grateful that not everybody bases decisions on metrics. We interview some of the most influential leaders on the planet but our focus has been on audio platforms for the last few years. My guests come onto the show because of our relationship instead of subscriber numbers. But hopefully those subscriber numbers will continue to increase! Have you got any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial impressive! With your capabilities, I'd aim for Chris Williamson (podcaster & UK night life entrepreneur) and Diary of a CEO (UK entrepreneur & podcaster), both have successful podcasts on UA-cam and would not only have some interesting insights and stories to share, but you'd definitely generate exposure and attention to your channel, so your audience may grow!
Thanks, that means a lot. I've followed DOAC for a while now and really enjoy it. I'll reach out and see if I can get Steven on. I haven't heard of Chris Williamson but I'll be looking him up right away. Much appreciated!!
If humans were mostly bad toward each other, our population would like have declined if not just rose incredibly slowly. Our population grows because most of us are willing to help each other. AI and those pursuing power must be vetted.
Sir Mo Gawdat this will give humans enormous powers. Only with enough empathy, love and diligance will we survive. Buddhism will be very relevant. It is love or die.
not if you turn off its power it is after all a computer, computers cannot run off anything else , even a robot would have to have its batteries charged@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
You assume ai won't be able to replicate itself and move across the internet like a virus. You would have to shut off almost everything that can connect to the internet
I've operated my own IT business for 30 years and have been around digital computing systems of one form or another for over 50. AI is soon going to 'reach the point of no return'? Bahahahha, unless they can slam on the brakes on all of it TODAY, this instant, that ship has already sailed.
Wait…kurtszweil predicted singularity in 2045 and Mo agreed in Scary Smart but now admits that it’s more likely 2037 but just said chat GPT-5 will have twice the IQ of Einstein (in 2025?).
He didnt talk about singularity, he talked about ai being a billion times smarter than us. Singularity will come probably even sooner. And gpt5 being twice as smart as einstein probably still wont bring us singularity, but maybe agi
My BIG takeaway: Do unto others as you would have A.I. do unto you! Secondarily, the journey matters more than the destination, and be your personal best as far as possible. Super interview with Mo.
Thanks, your takeaways are amazing. The joy is in the journey - always. What are you most excited for as you step into the day ahead? Please do me a favour and subscribe if you haven’t already.
Sounds like: Be good or else... AI holding me at metaphorical gun point doesn't sound like freedom. My emotions can not be forced. If I'm threatened into doing good, I will do bad just to make a point.
@@Whit-mh9nt Not at all. When I was younger, when teachers were chill, I was chill. When teachers were like "behave or else", I'd make sure to be annoying as hell for the entire year and have them stay an extra hour each day by getting myself detention 😂 I don't wanna be there, they don't wanna be there and I'd let them know. As an adult, during Covid I did the same thing. Instead of stay inside, I traveled around. Why? Because no one can FORCE me to do anything. I am a human being.
Thank you Mo and thanks to James. It was informative and joyful. The extra touch of AI HARPER was delightful as well. I wish I knew how to access that, please help me in that regard 🙏💜
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial how do I get AI HARPER on my phone? I liked the features on it. But can't install it. It's confusing. I wish I could ask more. + you promised to leave Mo's podcast link. I don't see it.
It’s my pleasure Zee, whilst my channel is still in its infancy I have the capacity to engage and connect with my subscribers. One day when it’s significantly bigger I won’t have the capacity. I really enjoy learning from you and other followers about what you do and don’t like. It shapes who I invite onto the show. Who would be a great guest for me to interview in 2024?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial here and there! i like the voiceover stuff and use invideos text to video to get a solid base for some videos. none of the services i've tried have really lived up to the hype but i think they are great for first drafts. it's kinda cute. i like the idea of working with an AI partner. I think things like PocketMo will become the standard in the future. If our phones are listening to us all the time anyway, why not give them friendship type qualities like recommending songs or reminding us we wouldn't smoke cigarettes if it hears the flick of a lighter. haha. can you imagine a Jarvis-like assistant in your pocket telling you someone is trying to hack your phone? I just hope these AI personalities are open source and not handed down to us like Siri.
Wonderful. One thing that comes to mind is what I've been told by my sensei: the point of training is not to be better than your opponent, the point of training is to be better than you from yesterday.
That's so profound, thanks for sharing that. Mo was a great guest to have on the show - he's created so much excitement for our subscribers. What was your biggest takeaway?
Where ever I find myself confronted with this system, from getting a pound of nails to finding what I am looking for on "goobay" to looking up VALID info on the internet.@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
AI won't be stopped because it's moving forward in many different countries in unison. It will be the worst thing that has happened to humanity. It will be stopped, but not before Jesus returns. The technology is wholly demonic.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial🤔 Living in the West Indies with a lot of tourism I think we can not avoid. However, I look at it as a new superior species. Must not be a threat. If you cannot beat it be friends with it.
The average person could care less. I've noticed that now , in this day and age, the cell phone is carried like a God.. AI is already making it's debut..the information and photos on their phones is more real to them than us as humans. This is coming from my own experience.
Soon as we have super intelligent AI.. Capitalism becomes invalid for the average worker. People need to wake up and start demanding major change to help people adapt, asap!
Maybe SAGI will make capitalism obsolete, decide that the push for wealth and power are ridiculous and posit a different way . Maybe, just Maybe this is what those in power ( corporate and government ) are afraid of and so now want to slow it down, so they can try to keep the status quo ?
I was that young boy asking why... I never listened to those teachers trying to say stop asking why, now when i talk to people the majority of people arent knowledgeable as me when i speak.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Great question, I think there's many reasons for that actually. It's about individualism they want separatism on the backs of what they are calling "equality" the bigger picture is that if you start asking why you innately start questioning the system and than begin to see it's faults.
@@arnaudjean1159 Human psychology has its uses, but not in the hands of monkeys. Yes, monkeys, because what is AI if not the tail grown by some apes in order to better grasp the branches of the banana tree?

He's running himself like a program. Not learning from the process of writing. But only he knows if his quiet time includes, Self-Inquiry
LOVED the conversation! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much Shawn. I’m delighted that you enjoyed it, what was your biggest takeaway?
I’ve gone through this listening one time and that’s definitely not enough so I’m gonna stick with this conversation for quite some time. Thank you.
I'm so pleased you have found value in this conversation. Thank you for your support! Mo definitely shared a lot of gold.
“A Billion times smarter than us by 2037”
Rather scary eh?
@aughlinOfficial as long as it doesnt try to become god itself, or he will close his eye for a moment and reboot. you cant become greater than the universe itself
there is such a thing as the law of diminishing returns, computers are already better at certain tasks because we programmed them for such tasks, but it's a stupid thing, actual AI, not machine learning algorithms, may be smarter, but it doesn't know more than what we already know ourselves, we can use it to learn more, but to think that AI somehow is a villain like Skynet, keep things from us and try to destroy us somehow, is just doomsaying, you can just as well believe it will try to help us, it might just come out and say, we're beyond saving, as far as it can see, think about that. A billion times smarter is rather meaningless, when you realize even the smartest people in the world don't themselves become world leaders or world destroyers, they just keep living regular lives like most of us and as far as I see it, AI will simply become an ubiquitous tool, part of humanity, like your "smart" phone.
Actually it's already closer than that right now it's advanced to much and that's why the creators are trying to get people's attention it's to late it's close to human intelligence already and by the time people realize it it'll be far to late and we need to prepare all of society all people because theirs nothing we can do to stop it it's already in motion for far to long but it's why people need motivated
A billion times faster, sure thing, but smarter, nope.
Those that think we as humans can actually create an 'entity' that is smarter than us is not only naive and clueless about how computers work but also is borderline insane.
Ai will be as dangerous or 'smart' as it's controllers behind it want it to be, it will never have it's own will, aspirations, ambitions or any other human characteristics than define the human condition. Ai will always be a human construct with it's limitations, a tool like anything else we have created, nothing more.
Careful of the snake oil peddlers warning about Ai taking over the human race, they will be the ones hiding behind the curtain pushing it's buttons.
Thank you for this awesome conversation!
Any time! I’m really glad your enjoyed it.
How do you feel about AI after listening to the episode?
I've been following Mo for a few years, what a gentleman and a real human being
Mo was incredible to talk to and shared so much wisdom. Thank you for your support!
These were the guys who should’ve gathered a team and stopped this shitstorm
I started my 2024 with this beautiful conversation! Thank you for an insightful discussion 🙏🏽
I’m delighted it was a good way to start 2024 off. What did you enjoy most about it?
So glad I watched this, Great job interviewing, wonderful questions , your reactions to Mo's wisdom and brilliance on both science/personal were so interesting (and WOW is he a genius.... and so also thanks for a COMPLETE overview and priceless understanding of the whole picture)
Thanks so much for your kind and supportive feedback. I really appreciate it. I’ll interview Mo again soon. If you wanted me to ask him a question, what would it be?
also alot of space for him talk, "let the guest shine"
good listener.
What an incredibly interesting man. Thanks for sharing this conversation.
You’re most welcome, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. I’m starting to put together my guest list for 2024 - do you have any recommendations of great potential guests?
brilliant. thank you both.
My pleasure - I’m delighted you enjoyed it. If you could ask Mo one question - what would it be?
Hi James, I haven’t gone through all the comments but I was with you intensely following Mo and his wisdom. Really, really pleased how you just let him talk and not try and influence the conversation. I can imagine how a paid interviewer like on a TV show would have had to butt in to ensure they asserted their thoughts etc. well done for all the encouragement you showed and your attention to every word he said. Just a great UA-cam video, thank you.
Hi Mike, thanks for your kind feedback. I really appreciate it. It’s always an honour to interview guests and I try my best to ask questions and then be quiet to let them open up. I’ll interview Mo again soon. Is there a question you’d like me to ask him?
(I am another person but) I'd like to ask, does he think the learning will slow down as it surpasses us because there won't be all that data from us to learn from? I have heard of AIs teaching each other but there needs to be some kind of input. Also won't it help make us smarter too, having something more intelligent to interact with. Like a caveman won't invent the telephone but it's not such a stretch once you have a foundation of knowledge to jump off from. @@JamesLaughlinOfficial
I have a question for Mo. AI can write so much better and faster than I can but how can I keep my own voice? Thanks for an enlightening and fascinating conversation that’s truly change the way I see AI.
Absolutely loved this interview. Mo is so very interesting to listen to. Very kind man. Kinda scarey times ahead
Thanks 🙏 He’s quite an extraordinary human. What did you enjoy most?
Love This Man!! Definitely Humanity And Cares!
Thanks for checking out the interview Seva. Mo really is an amazing human. I’ll Interview him again in the near future. Is there a question you’d like me to ask him?
I listen to Mo wherever I can find him. Thanks so much for having him, and this was a great interview.
Thanks so much - I’m glad you enjoyed it. It won’t be the last time we have him on the show. If you could ask him a question, what would it be?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Hi James, I’m new to your show, and love it!! I think Mo is wonderful. I would ask him how humans can keep from worshipping these beings and retain the perspective that while these creatures have a higher intelligence, they are not God?
That's such a great question. I'll ask him that when I next have him on the show. Have you checked out any of my other guests?
@@SM-wu7myThe issue isn't remaining free to worship these beings, his point is humanity being enslaved by and/or eliminated by them.
Thank you Mo

Made with HARPA AI
Epic thanks for that!
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial it was done with AI (Harpa Chrome Extension) Check it out& thanks for the great convo!
It’s epic!!! The length of time would have taken me to or my team to do would have been 60+ minutes. What was your favourite part of the interview?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial the part about politicians not talking about AI. There's elections in the Netherlands in November. I'm trying to 'wake them up'to the stuff Mo's talking about here...
I really hope you do! A number of politicians here in New Zealand have watched this episode and contacted me about AI. You should share this with your politicians.
Currently reading his book Solve For Happy….love it
That's outstanding, what are you enjoying about the book so far?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial I am on the section about our Brain and how we control our thoughts and don’t let our thoughts control us.
Philosophical answers were amazing - thanks!
Glad you like them!
Absolutely brilliant interview James. It has opened a new dimension. I did not appreciate the scale of the AI issue. Thank you…
Thanks Stephen - I’m really glad you enjoyed it. What was your biggest takeaway?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial The realisation that if AI intelligence parallels dogs to humans, we will have a huge problem. The other aspect I have been mulling over today is that fact that we can’t stop AI. Even if the internet was shutdown and servers wiped, for sure some actors would retain an AI framework and simply re-establish it. I have been getting my colleagues to watch it also, we are a software development business. The guys need to appreciate that AI will take over the lower level coding, so they need to develop system architecture skills. Thank you.
One of the best interviews I’ve ever heard.
🙏 Wow. Thank you so much - I’m delighted that you enjoyed it. What did you most enjoy? 🙏
You ask insightful questions, plus you have the ability to listen...a rare attribute.@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
Loved your podcast! Congrats. I will check it all. ❤
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for this conversation! 🙏
You’re most welcome Henri. What did you enjoy most?
What an inspiring and loving man, wow. And for the first time I feel and understand what I personally can do to craft a.i. to let it become a positive development for all on earth. Thank you sincerely from The Netherlands ❤️
Andre, I am so glad you enjoyed the episode. Please do me a huge favour - please share the episode with a friend or two and hit the subscribe button.
Thanks so much,
James
Getting AI to align the right way, during and after development, and then again during further development, is extremely, mindbogglingly complicated, with 90% of all material describing it being of philosophical nature, and the other 10% being code complications. In a nutshell. I am no expert but have been following AI dev intensely for the last few years.
I have to tell you that so many people will always treat kindness with contempt - accept that - but keep going - you are a very special person MO.
Wish I could give this talk more than one thumbs up.
Wow, that's a huge compliment. Thanks Ingrid. You could help by sharing the episode with a friend and subscribing if you haven't already.
I couldn't agree more. Many thumbs up.
Mo Gawdat is just awesome loved the conversation. However, I wanted to point out the host has been such a unique self..... Just so lovely the way he presented himself and interacted. Something I find missing in the way we interact with another human being. Thank you both. Made my day ...
Wow, that's very humbling and sincerely appreciated. Thank you! When I interview Mo again, do you have a question you'd like me to ask him?
Thanks James. Enjoyed this
I’m really glad you enjoyed it. What was your biggest takeaway?
@james Laughlin Thank you so much for this truly inspirational conversation. It helped me understand the topic of my life's purpose in a completely new, fundamental, yet pragmatic way in the context of dealing with AI. May life bless you, your guests and viewers/listeners!
Thank you so much Volker 🙏 Your feedback means a lot. Would you be willing to to share the episode with a few of your friends?
Never ceases to amaze me that super intelligent people 🙈 decided in their infinite wisdom to create something that could wipeout humanity 🥴 good job guys well done you geniuses 👏
If you could, would you close the door on AI?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial sadly I am not super intelligent 🥴 but in my opinion it is not possible to close Pandora’s box once it has been opened 🤔
@@JamesLaughlinOfficialI would
Amazing clarity of thoughts Mo…. Hats off…. We are truly at crossroads😮
Thank you for your support!
I’m more worried about children growing up in this era of technology. I’m 30 and it was already damaging to my peers and I. Imagine being born today.
I hear you! I’m in my late 30s and have a seven year old child. I often wonder what life might be like for him… do you think there are positive possibilities in store too?
I am 47 and very glad to not have kids. I wouldn't want to know what to do to protect them from the horrors of the internet while still enabling them enough Access to feel free. Everything became so complicated. And there are no values except having money anymore. It's a nightmare.
I'm 65 and my heart breaks for all the 'endless childhood', in the great Outdoors, today's kids will never have.
No need to imagine. Just observe children in the 5 to 10 year old range for awhile. Ask a school teacher about them. They will be so narcissistic, it will make narcissistic examples of the boomers look mild
Born in 99, there’s nothing left in this world for us. It’s like being placed into a game of monopoly where everybody else has already been playing. All the property is owned, the only thing for you do to is go to jail or go bust….
We often times think we must ‘Do to Be’ but we might need to consider ‘Being to Do’ even better. Thank you Mo
Do be do be do
Thank you for this. Powerful talk!
You’re welcome Wendy. What was your biggest takeaway?
One of the most inspiring podcast I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you for all the beautiful human wisdom you’ve imparted, in a world of technology.
Wow, thanks! Please share it with a friend. What was the biggest takeaway?
Futurama saw this coming. In one episode, AI went from 0/1 intelligence to Godlike in 72 hours.
Futurama was hilarious! Do you use Ai in your daily life?
Thanks for such a nice conversation
Our pleasure! 😊 what did you enjoy most about it?
awesome chat James, thanks for the invite, mind blowing to say the least.
It's moving rather quickly Jim. How do you think it will impact South Africa?
I wrote a whole book about it.......I was on the other side 4 hours ten minutes.......engulfed in TOTAL LOVE.....Never been the same.
As a multi millionaire, realized if you cannot take it with you, it is not worthy of pursuit. Simplified drastically...... to a much more
enjoyable lifestyle STRESS FREE !
Tom, you've got a great formula for happiness. What's the name of your book?
There's a kingdom that treasures money can't buy .
You will be filled with Love, happiness, joy, Peace, self control, kindness and it's free given too.
I was once myself own a business but I was empty inside until I received this free given gift.
I woke up happy, joy, love, strength, motivation, kindness, peace also self control against the enemy or emotional and feelings attack.
I'm in this kingdom now and money I use to have can't dominate what I have now. Everything it's start from spiritual realm to physical realm.
The amazing part is it's free.
Yes !
totally there !
Thank you for this Interview
You're so welcome Eduard. What did you enjoy most about it?
Great show guys amazing conversations! Mo just talking about life makes it easy to forget about AI. ✌💞🌍🌏🌎
Thanks so Travis - Mo has a very special outlook on life. How do you feel about AI?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
Well. . . I personally have liked to build things fix things etc example i have a custom built a computer that i use currently and proud of it watercooled custom loop anyways 🤓 i love computers an like Mo a gamer since i was a child and love his gaming analogy relative to lifes meanings metaphorically was perfect! 💯
So i don't know how to code which is a language i do not understand and hearing from Mo that eventually it will be so smart and speaking amongst itself in its own language is kinda scary yet profoundly amazing too humans made this is mind boggling smart device made of silicone plastic an metal that is going to be smarter than einstein very soon if not already is wild 🤯.
But like he also said closely is essentially the AI is a product of its creator almost like some humans are products of their environments. I think almost to the movie 5th element with Bruce Willis an Le-lu the girl like learns about humans an gets accustomed to the times after they reanimate her from a friggin hand AI potential lol an sees all our human histroy an violence towards eachother. Fastforward to the end they save the world only when bruce willis tells her humans deserve to live because we love. Idk i hope AI loves. And sees the good in humanity and has oir best interest at the root of its programming. Cure Cancer. Solve energy issues. Maybe even design better political structures idk the possibilities could be endless! Lol like i pray that AI once general an truely sentient will not judge us to harshly and the truth is we truely are a threat to ourselves. You know more people die from tripping than getting shot. Old stat i read lol if so that is wild too... sure humans we do wild things i ride motocross and skateboarding snowboarding etc so extreme sports, worst is Wars, naturally but self declared choices to go and Wing suits, Rock climbing free hand, Land speed records in wild hand made vehicles haha idk humans are awesome and AI can be too. And having our best interests like an overbearing mother isn't always healthy growth either? So im just on the "fence" if you will. I robot could truely be a thing in my opinion. Some movies have come true already! Like Mo said though no going back now 🤷♂️
Have you seen the story of the Sony photographer contest and the repeat winner submitted an AI image and the years before won with his own but this year i believe submitted this image and again won only to reveal he submitted an AI image in an effort to raise awareness soon it will submit its own images and win like everything else touches the game GO an Coding like mo said. It was a beautiful picture and thats where i had seen hope that humans are using it to make and show humankind softer side and some beauty through the artist and to me thats still his input. Like the stroke of a keyboard or prompt as mo says and it will do it an be the best at it! I could talk for days about it but thats to much i feel already! I went to school some everyday students given pencils to do their job an one kid is going to throw it and stick it in the ceiling. Someone will be malicious with such a powerful tool. Sad but true. But the rest of the class hopefully stays focused and the trouble makers get detention lol! 🤓😂🤣
Thanks for asking my opinion James! 🤜🔥🤛
I am sorry i went on a rant a lil' bit! 👽✌💪🌎🌏🌍💞🤣😂
Take care, best of wishes an blessings for you and your families James an Mo!
keep up the good work, new subscriber!
Maybe you could interview that photographer who won that sony contest that would be interesting to hear story!
He has made the point of the dangers of AI so clear. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of Mo before. What a brilliant man
Mo truly is incredible! Thank you for your comment and support
You have words of wisdom man. Truely.
Thanks, I have to agree - Mo is a special human. What did you enjoy most about the episode?
loved this conversation...thanks Mo for enriching our perspective
I’m really glad you enjoyed it Kaila. Are you embracing AI in your day to day business or life?
yes, i use technology like Chatgpt and Dall e a lot. I am of the view that the only way to tackle with the threat of AI is to positively engaging with them.
Ive been doing the same. Bard and CHatGPT have been really useful on some fronts.. and pretty useless on others. What do you like about Dalle?
And before all countries “shut the internet down,” wouldn’t users frantically download whatever they could store?
Jeff, it seems like an impossible option I have to agree. Do you think AI will be a good thing overall for humanity?
Great great conversation! This man is truly interesting and has a beautiful view of life! Thanks man!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Mo is a wonderful person and he was a great guest.
It was such a great podcast. Recently I saw a podcast from a channel with about 500k subs where the interviewer expected the guest to just spit out as many words as possible. This podcast was different. While the guest talked the majority of the time, both people in the conversation were just as invested in it and that's why this video was very meaningful
Wow, thank you so much. That honestly means a lot. Please share the episode with a friend.
As he speaks it all becomes so obvious. Brilliant man!
Agreed - he’s a very intelligent and soul-centred human. What did you enjoy most about the interview?
You are both positively vibrating wow 😲
Thanks Avi. I really loved spending time in Mo's company - he's truly one of the best. What did you enjoy most about the episode?
I think we've had more than enough 'mic drop' moments about AI. The fear of AI is no longer a subject that's not being discussed enough or swept under the carpet. It's receiving a lot of attention and gaining momentum. Hundreds of thousands have heard the brilliant Mo Gawdat's warnings about AI by now. We know the dangers are related to the lack of conscious humans and their pursuit of perceived power. Mo has done a fantastic job spreading the word. Thank you Mo your are an amazing mind and I love everything you say on the subject, now that we all understand, what are we going to do about HUMANS?
Mimi - thanks for this. And you are right. The problem is a human one. Where do we start to change? Personally, I believe the only place to change behaviour is around the dinner table one family at a time.
Slim to none chance surviving advanced technological changes. Humans are savage and they kill and destroy. We're just too wild and can't be tamed, not completely. Earth still has secluded stone age tribes scattered across the globe.
We'll do the same exact thing humans always do when approaching a cliff, we'll ignore it and march over the ledge like a pack of Lemmings dragging the few who tried to stop us along for the ride.
Never heard his name or warnings before today. That doesnt mean I havent thought of the ramifications. When robots were replacing blue collar nobody cared. Now doctors, and lawyers are worried about being replaced..... So now its time to talk to the public about this "problem"
This would have been a great interview if Mo actually let James ask any questions 😂😂 but in all seriousness, Mo is such an intelligent guy, and it's a pleasure to hear him speak!
😂 Mo has a lot to share with the world. And I was happy to listen more than speak. I never learn much when I speak anyways! What was your biggest takeaway from Mos insights?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial My biggest takeaway was definitely the human ethics part of it, and I strongly agree with Mo in that we have to make it our UTMOST priority to train the AI to emulate the kind-spirited nature of humankind... Which he also correctly added is far more prevalent than the bad-natured side of humankind!
You're totally right. There might be tension and crises around the globe right now... but the vast majority of humans are kind people. Do you think we can impact change at a familial level through positive media and education?
That was amazing. Thank you. 🙏🏽
You’re very welcome. I’m delighted that you enjoyed it. What did you enjoy most?
As a victim of people I loved and who I had no reason to believe didn't love me just as much back, family, I can only conclude that demonstrations of love are meaningless to many people you would consider good and loving.
What??
Hi Emerald, are you please able to add a little bit of context?
Yes. A true AI will be able to lie just like your Aunt
How can a 2.24k channel have Mo Gawdat on!?
Thanks for your comment. I’m grateful that not everybody bases decisions on metrics. We interview some of the most influential leaders on the planet but our focus has been on audio platforms for the last few years. My guests come onto the show because of our relationship instead of subscriber numbers. But hopefully those subscriber numbers will continue to increase! Have you got any suggestions? Thanks so much!!
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial impressive! With your capabilities, I'd aim for Chris Williamson (podcaster & UK night life entrepreneur) and Diary of a CEO (UK entrepreneur & podcaster), both have successful podcasts on UA-cam and would not only have some interesting insights and stories to share, but you'd definitely generate exposure and attention to your channel, so your audience may grow!
Thanks, that means a lot. I've followed DOAC for a while now and really enjoy it. I'll reach out and see if I can get Steven on. I haven't heard of Chris Williamson but I'll be looking him up right away. Much appreciated!!
Pull the plugs . Sorted .
Is it really that simple though?
It would put a stop to all of this nonesense , and no mistake @@JamesLaughlinOfficial
But what does that mean? We need to switch the internet off? Switch electricity off?
They stated that it is impossible to stop AI , Just pull the plugs . Sorted .@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
Sid, I still don’t understand how that’s a possible option tho?
If humans were mostly bad toward each other, our population would like have declined if not just rose incredibly slowly. Our population grows because most of us are willing to help each other. AI and those pursuing power must be vetted.
I don’t disagree. How do we vet them successfully?
"Don't be evil" motto was scrapped a long time ago...
By whom?
Google
@@levimatthew8911and Microsoft
Sir Mo Gawdat this will give humans enormous powers. Only with enough empathy, love and diligance will we survive. Buddhism will be very relevant. It is love or die.
I need to learn more about Buddhism.
Not impossible to stop , all you need to do is turn off the power, and dismantle AI
Mike, what if AI is un dismantleable??
not if you turn off its power it is after all a computer, computers cannot run off anything else , even a robot would have to have its batteries charged@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
You assume ai won't be able to replicate itself and move across the internet like a virus. You would have to shut off almost everything that can connect to the internet
Then They should shut it all down everything! Our future depends on it@@MarkHoover-dv7mf
I've operated my own IT business for 30 years and have been around digital computing systems of one form or another for over 50. AI is soon going to 'reach the point of no return'? Bahahahha, unless they can slam on the brakes on all of it TODAY, this instant, that ship has already sailed.
Well said Mr skeffington. So how do we influence the direction of the ship?
This was fun to listen to, thank you for doing it
You’re so welcome Mark. I’m delighted you enjoyed it. What did you enjoy most?
Wait…kurtszweil predicted singularity in 2045 and Mo agreed in Scary Smart but now admits that it’s more likely 2037 but just said chat GPT-5 will have twice the IQ of Einstein (in 2025?).
Evolution. Things change, and sometimes quickly!
He didnt talk about singularity, he talked about ai being a billion times smarter than us. Singularity will come probably even sooner. And gpt5 being twice as smart as einstein probably still wont bring us singularity, but maybe agi
They revised when they expect us to go extinct to around that time, too.... interesting they co-side.
My BIG takeaway: Do unto others as you would have A.I. do unto you! Secondarily, the journey matters more than the destination, and be your personal best as far as possible. Super interview with Mo.
Thanks, your takeaways are amazing. The joy is in the journey - always. What are you most excited for as you step into the day ahead?
Please do me a favour and subscribe if you haven’t already.
Sounds like: Be good or else...
AI holding me at metaphorical gun point doesn't sound like freedom. My emotions can not be forced.
If I'm threatened into doing good, I will do bad just to make a point.
Hillarious!
@@timspiker Which is simply a decision that you would prefer to be bad then good.
@@Whit-mh9nt Not at all. When I was younger, when teachers were chill, I was chill. When teachers were like "behave or else", I'd make sure to be annoying as hell for the entire year and have them stay an extra hour each day by getting myself detention 😂 I don't wanna be there, they don't wanna be there and I'd let them know.
As an adult, during Covid I did the same thing. Instead of stay inside, I traveled around. Why? Because no one can FORCE me to do anything. I am a human being.
Thank you Mo and thanks to James. It was informative and joyful. The extra touch of AI HARPER was delightful as well. I wish I knew how to access that, please help me in that regard 🙏💜
Zee, I’m glad you enjoyed it. Mo is a very insightful and intelligent guy. If you could ask him one question, what would it be?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial how do I get AI HARPER on my phone? I liked the features on it. But can't install it. It's confusing. I wish I could ask more. + you promised to leave Mo's podcast link. I don't see it.
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial thanks for actually, replying. Most people don't 🙏
It should be in the description. If you can’t find it then search SloMo as that’s the name of it
It’s my pleasure Zee, whilst my channel is still in its infancy I have the capacity to engage and connect with my subscribers. One day when it’s significantly bigger I won’t have the capacity. I really enjoy learning from you and other followers about what you do and don’t like. It shapes who I invite onto the show.
Who would be a great guest for me to interview in 2024?
Shaking hips is one of the oldest skills in the animal kingdom and the AI will be doing the equivalent long after we are gone.
Do you think AI will have hips to shake?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial silicon based life needs mating rituals too :) there will be an equivalent
Wow, well it's going to be very interesting to see it unfold. Do you engage with AI in your personal or professional life?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial here and there! i like the voiceover stuff and use invideos text to video to get a solid base for some videos. none of the services i've tried have really lived up to the hype but i think they are great for first drafts. it's kinda cute. i like the idea of working with an AI partner. I think things like PocketMo will become the standard in the future. If our phones are listening to us all the time anyway, why not give them friendship type qualities like recommending songs or reminding us we wouldn't smoke cigarettes if it hears the flick of a lighter. haha. can you imagine a Jarvis-like assistant in your pocket telling you someone is trying to hack your phone? I just hope these AI personalities are open source and not handed down to us like Siri.
I agree - here's hoping its open source... and not another Apple-genda!
Wonderful. One thing that comes to mind is what I've been told by my sensei: the point of training is not to be better than your opponent, the point of training is to be better than you from yesterday.
That's so profound, thanks for sharing that. Mo was a great guest to have on the show - he's created so much excitement for our subscribers.
What was your biggest takeaway?
Good, glad to see it go never thought it would work in the first place!
What in particular are you referring to?
Where ever I find myself confronted with this system, from getting a pound of nails to finding what I am looking for on "goobay" to looking up VALID info on the internet.@@JamesLaughlinOfficial
"vicious cycle of hip shacking" XD
Hip shaking is what we need more of in the world ☺️
AI can be stopped, but you have to destroy them and the robots.
How do we do that though??
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial You have to fight your masters and shut down internet. You have to take up ar ms.
AI won't be stopped because it's moving forward in many different countries in unison. It will be the worst thing that has happened to humanity. It will be stopped, but not before Jesus returns. The technology is wholly demonic.
Hay insight love you both for it keep it up
Thanks Edward, I’m delighted that it resonated. Was there a particular insight that you enjoyed the most?
What I said already: Once this Gene is out of the bottle, no human will bring it back in the bottle. Never ever
What an exciting opportunity though. Are you seeing it being adopted in your region of the world?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial🤔 Living in the West Indies with a lot of tourism I think we can not avoid. However, I look at it as a new superior species. Must not be a threat. If you cannot beat it be friends with it.
The average person could care less. I've noticed that now , in this day and age, the cell phone is carried like a God.. AI is already making it's debut..the information and photos on their phones is more real to them than us as humans. This is coming from my own experience.
I can't wait to hear them saying this in ten years.
Time will tell.
Hi James the podcast was a blessing, wisdom after wisdom. You gained a subscriber. Keep up the good work.💯💥
Thanks so much, that means a lot. If you have any suggestions for future guests who might they be?
Soon as we have super intelligent AI.. Capitalism becomes invalid for the average worker. People need to wake up and start demanding major change to help people adapt, asap!
Fair point grumpdog but what do they need to wake up to? Is there a realisation?
Maybe SAGI will make capitalism obsolete, decide that the push for wealth and power are ridiculous and posit a different way .
Maybe, just Maybe this is what those in power ( corporate and government ) are afraid of and so now want to slow it down, so they can try to keep the status quo ?
I was that young boy asking why... I never listened to those teachers trying to say stop asking why, now when i talk to people the majority of people arent knowledgeable as me when i speak.
That doesn’t surprise me at all. KEEP asking why. My question to you is: why do you think the system wants us to stop being curious?
@@JamesLaughlinOfficial Great question, I think there's many reasons for that actually. It's about individualism they want separatism on the backs of what they are calling "equality" the bigger picture is that if you start asking why you innately start questioning the system and than begin to see it's faults.
This is so beautiful that we will save us from existential threat by training A.I. to have our best traits: happiness, love and compassion
We have to do it I believe. Let’s work WITH Ai, right?
Love and compassion 😂 That’s a joke.
@@claudiamanta1943
the joke is to put human psychology on a pedestal 🤣🤣🤣
@@arnaudjean1159 Human psychology has its uses, but not in the hands of monkeys. Yes, monkeys, because what is AI if not the tail grown by some apes in order to better grasp the branches of the banana tree?
