The World Will Enter a 15-Year AI Dystopia in 2027, Former Google Exec Says

Mo Gawdat thinks the next 12-15 years will be dark, not because of robots but because of our own “stupidity.”

Thanks Jim!

Excerpt: "The world is hurtling towards an inevitable AI dystopia in the very near future, according to Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer of Alphabet’s moonshot factory, formerly known as Google X.

“We will have to prepare for a world that is very unfamiliar,” Gawdat said in an interview on the “Diary of a CEO” podcast, adding that humanity’s key values like freedom, human connection, accountability, reality, and power are all facing a major disruption by AI.

And this dystopia isn’t far off, we have already started seeing signs of it as of last year and will continue to see an escalation of signs next year, Gawdat said. The beginning of the descent into Gawdat’s dystopia, he predicts, will begin in 2027 and last for the next 12 to 15 years.

The former Google executive wasn’t always of this opinion: the speed with which artificial intelligence technologies have been developing caused him to change his mind and convinced him that this short-term dystopia is inevitable."
