A terrifying societal collapse worthy of Hollywood can never be entirely ruled out. But according to one former Google executive, it may come a lot sooner than we expected. Mo Gawdat, a tech entrepreneur and author who spent 11 years at Google, has given a bleak warning about the near-future of society. Speaking with The Diary of a CEO podcast, Mr Gawdat said we'll be living in a dystopia in just two years' time. Sounding worthy of George Orwell's novel '1984', the dystopia will last up to 15 years, the expert said.

Fox News anchor Julie Banderas reacts to the vice president's gaffe and CNN calling Dylan Mulvaney a man on'Jesse Watters Primetime.' Former chief from Google Mo Gawdat warned that artificial intelligence could lead to a "very significant redesign of love and relationships." The ex-Google X chief business officer recently appeared on an episode of the Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu podcast, where the two discussed the future implications of AI simulating sex and relationships. "Just think about all of the illusions that we're now unable to decipher illusion from truth, right? Sex happens in the brain at the end of the day, I mean the physical side of it is not that difficult to simulate okay? But if we can convince you that this sex robot is alive or that sex experience in a virtual reality headset or an augmented reality headset is real, then there you go," he said.

'Let's just say this is a very significant redesign of society,' said Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer at Google's secretive R&D wing, Google X. The convergence of these technologies, as Gawdat explained on a recent podcast interview, may lead to sex dolls that seem'alive' or dating apps filled with AI'avatars.' 'If we think a few years further and think of Neuralink and other ways of connecting directly to your nervous system,' Gawdat speculated, 'why would you need another being in the first place?' Speaking on the YouTube channel for the show Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Gawdat pointed out that technologists, policymakers and society at large often focus too tightly on philosophical questions that big business interests will not. 'We get lost in those conversations of'Are they alive?

Another former Google chief has warned against the dangers of artificial intelligence, saying it could come to view humanity as'scum' and even take over military drones to exterminate us. Mo Gawdat, the former chief business officer at Google's secretive R&D wing X, said the technology had the power to'love' humanity or to'squish' humanity'like flies.' He is the second staffer at the search giant to warn about the power of AI in as many weeks, after their'Godfather of Artificial Intelligence ' Geoffrey Hinton resigned, issuing his own dire warnings about our AI future. At Google's X, Gawdat said he thought of the AI they created as his'children,' but now he has some regrets about that parenthood. 'I've lived among those machines.

Artificial intelligence has a multitude of benefits in varied industries including healthcare, education and even in the entertainment sector. But a former Google executive claims AI is not the solution, and might as well become a threat to humanity. Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer for Google X, a moonshot organisation recently let out a warning against AI in conversation with The Times. The former Google employee believes that current AI research will pave the pathway for an all-powerful being, akin to a god. A machine supremacy apocalypse seems inevitable, if Gawdat is to be believed.

The former Google X executive Mo Gawdat is beginning the rounds on his new book Scary Smart, which renders artificial intelligence to be as much a force of nature as Covid. Indeed, he sees AI as nothing less than the next evolutionary step on this planet. For Gawdat, it's clear: the capacity for learning from data and experience in these machines is on an exponential curve (which doesn't just gently ascend but shoots eventually into the sky). At some singular point – probably aided by the unimaginable calculating power of quantum computing, and apparently by the end of the decade – we will be in the presence of massively superior beings.

According to a former Google executive, the singularity is coming. And, what's more, he says that it poses a major threat to humanity. Mo Gawdat, formerly the Chief Business Officer for Google's moonshot organization, which was called Google X at the time, issued his warning in a new interview with The Times. In it, he said that he believes that artificial general intelligence (AGI), the sort of all-powerful, sentient AI seen in science fiction like Skynet from "The Terminator," is inevitable -- and that once it's here, humanity may very well find itself staring down an apocalypse brought forth by godlike machines. Gawdat told The Times that he had his frightening revelation while working with AI developers at Google X who were building robot arms capable of finding and picking up a small ball.
