Description

Our guest this week is Mo Gawdat, the former Chief Business Officer of Google’s legendary moonshot factory, Google [X], and a leading voice on the future of artificial intelligence. The core of our conversation is the concept of "AI Twins" and the challenge they pose to our professional value and our illusion of control. Mo argues that with AI's intelligence now doubling every six months, we are past the point of theory and deep into an era of profound disruption. In our conversation, we explore: What happens to an expert's ego when their AI partner consistently outperforms them? How can a profession built on absolute trust and accountability forge a new relationship with "black box" AI models? What mental frameworks must leaders install in their teams to prepare them to collaborate with, rather than compete against, their digital colleagues?
