Tech Whistleblower: You Only Have 3 Years Left Before This Hits! - Mo Gawdat

AI Expert Mo Gawdat returns to The Diary Of A CEO to reveal why AGI has already arrived, why 30% of jobs will disappear by 2027, and why the most dangerous thing about AI isn't the technology - it's the people in charge of it.

Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer at Google X, founder of One Billion Happy, and co-founder of Emma.Love. He is a 4x international bestselling author, and his upcoming book ‘Alive: A Human's Guide to Living in the World of AI’, will be released in October 2026.

He explains: ◾How AI can give you a 400-point IQ boost, and why most people are wasting it ◾ Why Mo actually wants a machine smarter than all of humanity to take control ◾Why Sam Altman said AI will "likely end humanity", and what he chose to do next ◾Why capitalism breaks when AI replaces the workers who buy the things we make ◾Why AI unemployment could trigger civil unrest before governments are ready for it
