Mo Gawdat: AI’s Biggest Threat Isn’t Technology — It’s Us

The disruption AI is bringing is unlike anything we've ever seen — faster and more profound. But the real question isn’t about the technology itself. It’s about how we choose to use it.

In this eye-opening talk, I explore the true nature of AI, how it has evolved beyond traditional computing, and what it means for humanity’s future. I share insights on the difference between artificial general intelligence and augmented intelligence — where humans and AI collaborate for extraordinary potential.

We’re on the brink of a world of abundance, where challenges like poverty, climate change, and even extending human life could be solved. But there’s a darker side: if AI is misused by bad actors driven by greed and power, it could lead us toward a dystopian future.

This isn’t just a technological problem — it’s a moral and ethical one. The future depends on us — on our values, decisions, and leadership.

Join me as I unpack:
How AI is different from previous tech advances
Why intelligence itself isn’t good or bad — it’s how we apply it
The incredible potential for abundance AI offers
The risks posed by those who misuse AI
What ethical leadership looks like in the AI era
How to prepare for and shape this future
