Ausführliche Einführung des Gastes: Alex ist ein moderner Entdecker mit einer beeindruckenden Liste an Referenzen: Er hat auf fünf Kontinenten gelebt und gearbeitet und dabei mehr als die Hälfte aller Länder der Welt erkundet. Mit seinem Master-Abschluss in Politikwissenschaften, einem MBA und zwei Doktortiteln in der Tasche (im März kommt Nr. 3 hinzu ;-))) lehrt er heute als Dozent an einer der größten privaten Hochschulen Deutschlands Design Thinking & Business Model Innovation, Trend- und Innovationsmanagement, Controlling & Wirtschaftsethik und Künstliche Intelligenz. Zudem berät Alex auch Unternehmen, wie aktuell eine Bank in Äthiopien, bei der Umstellung ihrer Prozesse auf KI. Dank seiner Greator/Gedankentanken Speaker-Ausbildung hält er auch Keynotes über Künstliche Intelligenz, Digitale Transformation & Prozessoptimierung und über das Erlernen von Erfolg. Alex ist ein globaler digitaler Nomade europäisch-deutscher Abstammung, der mit einem Fulbright-Stipendium für ein Studium in den USA ausgezeichnet wurde und dort für einen US-Senator an politischen Initiativen gearbeitet hat. Durch diese Zeit ist Alex gewissermaßen in den USA "hängen geblieben" und daher zieht er sich seit rund zwanzig Jahren immer wieder gern in den nordwestlichsten Punkt der kontinentalen USA in sein zweites Zuhause zum Schreiben seiner Bücher und zum Forschen zurück. Fast 25 Jahre lang unterstütze er Belize ehrenamtlich als Honorarkonsul des Landes in Deutschland. In diesem karibischen Paradies, das mit seiner Schönheit alle in seinen Bann zieht, unterstützte er Regierungs- und Nichtregierungsorganisationen bei ihren kontinuierlichen Entwicklungsbemühungen. Mit seiner Erfahrung im Bankwesen, durch seine Tätigkeiten an der Börse in Frankfurt und in zahlreichen Führungspositionen ist Alex ein Serienunternehmer mit einem beeindruckenden Lebenslauf. Er hat mehrere Startups gegründet und eine Blockchain-basierte Kryptowährung mitentwickelt und sich damit einen festen Platz in der Tech-Branche erobert. Aktuell baut er mit MangoSeed.ai Inc. im Silicon Valley ein neues Startup auf, um KI-Entwicklungen für KMU umzusetzen. Darüber hinaus hat er mehrere Bücher geschrieben (eines davon ein Bestseller) und sich vor Kurzem noch tiefer in die akademische Welt begeben, um sich weiter zu qualifizieren und für seine nächste Doktorarbeit über den Einsatz KI zur Optimierung von Solarenergie zu forschen. Alex ist ein begeisterter Outdoor-Fan mit einer großen Portion Abenteuerlust, so ist er auch Tauchlehrer und technischer Taucher. Während seiner Zeit in Hongkong stieß er auf das Solo Wheel und begann damit, sich mit E-Mobilität zu beschäftigen und gründete in Deutschland ein lokal erfolgreiches Unternehmen für E-Scooter. Nachdem er viele Jahre in Asien, Nord- und Südamerika sowie in Afrika gelebt hat, ist das Leben für diesen energiegeladenen Menschen, der jede Begegnung mit anderen Menschen aus jeder Kultur genießt und jeden Tag mit offenen Armen begrüßt, niemals langweilig geworden.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our world, enabling computers to learn and solve problems in ways that can seem human. This powerful technology is already being used to benefit the environment – optimising efficiencies, predicting weather patterns, and mapping ecological impacts. However, the immense computing power required for AI comes at a cost, consuming vast amounts of energy and other critical resources.In this episode, James and Daisy talk about AI. What exactly is AI? What are its environmental impacts? And with AI now deeply embedded in our daily lives, how can we ensure it evolves responsibly to benefit all humanity? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: Code Dependent: How AI is Changing Our Lives – This book by Madhumita Murgia explores the impact of a set of powerful, flawed, and often exploitative technologies on individuals, communities, and our wider society.Liebreich: Generative AI – The Power and the Glory (2024) – Michael Liebreich examines the transformative potential of generative AI, particularly in creative and industrial sectors.OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:Mo Gawdat – The Former Chief Business Officer at Google X published Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, a roadmap detailing how humanity can ensure a symbiotic coexistence with AI when it inevitably becomes a billion times smarter than we are.Perplexity AI – A conversational search engine that uses large language models to answer queries with sourced citations. Verv is an AI-based smart home product that sits next to your electricity or smart meter and analyses your home energy data at its source.IBM (2024) – A clear overview of AI and how it works. BBC (2025) – “Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to "build baby build", as he announced plans to make it easier to construct mini nuclear power stations in England and Wales.”Goldman Sachs (2024): “On average, a ChatGPT query needs nearly 10 times as much electricity to process as a Google search.”Google (2024): “Our total GHG emissions were 14.3 million tCO2e, representing a 13% year-over-year increase and a 48% increase compared to our 2019 target base year—primarily due to increases in data center energy consumption and supply chain emissions” ITU (2023) – Approximately 67% of the world's population (5.4 billion people) is now online. In Africa, that figure is just 37%. UNCTAD (2024) – “The production of a single 2 kg computer requires the extraction of a staggering 800 kg of raw materials.”Also, we looked up data centres in Ireland… The Guardian (2024) – Ireland's growing fleet of datacentres used 21% of its electricity, an increase of a fifth on 2022.

She started Emergent Risk International with the belief that, with the proper strategy and mindset, risk intelligence could add more than worry to an organization's bottom line. As a former Defense Intelligence Officer as well as an oil and gas industry veteran – first building a risk intelligence function for ConocoPhillips and then for Kosmos Energy – Ms. Wilson has seen how intelligence can function well in both environments, but also how differently these functions operate within their organizations. With that knowledge and an extremely talented and adventurous team, since its founding in 2014, ERI has grown into a multi-national company with offices in the United States (Dallas, Austin, Washington DC and greater Boston), the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Singapore; serving some of the world's most valuable brands. Ms. Wilson was a founding member of the Private Sector Intelligence Council (PSIC) and a Founding Board Member of the Association of International Risk and Intelligence Professionals (AIRIP). She previously served on the Business Intelligence Advisory Council for the National Intelligence Officer for Science and Technology. She spent much of her early career abroad, living in Southeast Asia and Europe. She, her family, and her three furry coworkers currently call Rhode Island home.

With A.I filling the headlines more and more - I wanted to throw back to a mix I was inspired to make after reading Mo Gowdat's "Scary Smart back in 2021. My favourite Progressive House always has a futuristic sound that really flicks my science fiction switch on. I like to use samples that accentuate those elements and make the listener think whilst on the journey of the mix. The sample I have used in this mix is from the voice of Mo Gowdat. Mo is the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X]. I read his book Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, which is a roadmap detailing how humanity can ensure a symbiotic coexistence with A.I when it inevitably becomes a billion times smarter than we are. This Mix was recorded back in Jan 2022 and is simply titled A.I. Enter my mind for 90 mins while I'm still in control.Tracklist Danny Jarvis Ft.

If you were scrolling through your newsfeed in late September 2021, you may have caught this splashy headline from The Times of London that read, “Can this man save the world from artificial intelligence?”. The man in question was Mo Gawdat, an entrepreneur and senior tech executive who spent several years as the Chief Business Officer at GoogleX (now called X Development), Google's semi-secret research facility, that experiments with moonshot projects like self-driving cars, flying vehicles, and geothermal energy. At X, Mo was exposed to the absolute cutting edge of many fields — one of which was AI. His experience seeing AI systems learn and interact with the world raised red flags for him — hints of the potentially disastrous failure modes of the AI systems we might just end up with if we don't get our act together now. Mo writes about his experience as an insider at one of the world's most secretive research labs and how it led him to worry about AI risk, but also about AI's promise and potential in his new book, Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World. He joined me to talk about just that on this episode of the TDS podcast.
Welcome to Calm Edged Rebels; Trudy, Jenni and Advita's award-winning podcast, which was only this week featured in Bananatag's ‘22 Best Internal Communications Podcasts for 2022'. https://blog.bananatag.com/internal-comms/best-internal-communications-podcasts As this is the last episode of the current season, our news section reflects on the podcast itself and the people who support us. And we have a question for you: how useful do you find our news discussions, and should we continue them into season five? We'd love to hear your thoughts. The final big topic gives us an opportunity to gaze into the future and debate what the big trends will be for 2022 and beyond. We talk about the rise of ESG and AI, and the influence they have over the ways we communicate. Changes in the use of technology have shaped the past few years, but where can we find reliable sources to learn about developments in the tech of the near future? Diversity and inclusion, women's safety and personalisation are all prevalent themes right now; which of these are likely to dominate our thoughts in the year ahead and how can we make sure we know how to work well with them? Find out which trends we predict will increase and what we're doing to stay ahead of the curve. Finally, we want to say a big thank you to you, our listeners. We enjoy sharing our thoughts with you and we appreciate your support.

Lawali Life Podcast with Alice Law | Comebacks from Stress & Loss
In today's episode I am joined once again by the wonderful Mo Gawdat (if you haven't already listened to his previous episode, flick back and hear his incredibly inspiring outlook and story). Mo is the Ex Chief Business Officer of Google X & Author of International Best-Seller Solve For Happy & his new Best Seller Scary Smart and a serial Entrepreneur. In this episode we discuss the amazing combination of Artificial Intelligence & our own humanity, in his incredible new book Scary Smart which highlights the impending reality of Artificial Intelligence from his unique perspective of having built some of the A.I we now all take for granted & the truth about where it is going, but how our own best qualities of humanity will be what makes this a good thing, if we show up to ensure it. I loved this conversation, talking about this topic from such an emotionally intelligent perspective and listening to Mo's innate wisdom at every turn. In this episode we talked all about: - Mo's incredible career in the tech industry as the Chief Business Officer of Google X (Google's Moonshot & Innovation Arm) - The threat of A.I & how know one knows where it is going to go - The reality of having always lived on a planet as the smartest beings, when soon we shall not be - How our own humanity is what will save us - How our Spiritual values are needed to help the machines learn the best parts of us - How machines really learn - Why we must all try to do our best so that A.I follows us - How showing up as your best self is what is the most important for A.I & the world - The 3 values humanity agrees on & why we must use them now & so much more.... After a 30 year career in tech and serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], Google's 'moonshot factory' of innovation, Mo has made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world. In 2014, motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, Mo began pouring his findings into his international bestselling book, Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. His mission to help one billion people become happier, #OneBillionHappy, is his moonshot attempt to honor Ali by spreading the message that happiness can be learned and shared to one billion people. In 2020, Mo launched his chart-topping podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, a weekly series of extraordinary interviews that explores the profound questions and obstacles we all face in the pursuit of purpose and happiness in our lives. His latest book is Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, a roadmap detailing how humanity can ensure a symbiotic coexistence with AI when it inevitably becomes a billion times smarter than we are.

In this episode Nicola, founder of wellbeing brand NEOM talks to happiness pioneer, global thought leader and ex Chief Business Officer at Google X (Google's innovation arm) Mo Gawdat who has made global happiness his personal mission. Mo Gawdat is the bestselling author of the book, Solve for Happy - a book dedicated to his son Ali who died in 2014 and not only gives Nicola his ways of wellbeing (listen up for great advice), but is also here to talk about his new book Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World. A timely book about Artificial Intelligence and the future of our world - but it's NOT a ‘techy' book - it's a book for everyone on this planet and explains how we are programming our tech with the wrong ethical code. Mo's book opens our eyes to understand how prioritising kindness, your wellbeing, the wellbeing of your neighbour, of the person at the bus stop next to you, is not a luxury, is not a ‘nice to have' but it is actually, not only essential for our wellbeing, it is also essential to our survival and what will allow the world to flourish in the future.If you want to get in touch or just see what we're up to head to neomorganics.com or follow NEOM & Nicola on @neomorganics.com @nicolaelliottmoss and @mo_gawdatWebsite: https://www.mogawdat.com/Buy Scary Smart: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1529077184/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AYGQRVFB21JY78J10PW0
In eight years the smartest thing on the planet will be an artificially intelligent machine, says Mo Gawdat, former chief business officer of Google whose new book, Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, paints a dramatic picture of the threats and opportunities of AI.
In this episode of Sense-Making in a Changing World, I am joined by quite a different guest than you will usually find on this show to explore something that will have enormous implications for our life and work - Artificial Intelligence (AI) - and already does. Mo Gowdat is author of Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World released on 1 October 2021 and also international bestseller, 'Solve for Happy' in 2017.While I am right on the edge of my field of knowledge, experience and comfort here, this is Mo's world. He has worked as a big-tech executive for 30 years and was formerly the chief business officer of Google [X] - the 'moonshot lab' exploring things like driverless cars and AI and candidly shares his thoughts on the dangers and possibilities.Woven through our discussion is also the exploration of purpose. As an executive of one of the biggest companies of the world, he says the richer he got, the more unhappier he became - something he noticed of many people in his world. He started deeply researching how to find happiness and purpose. Then tragically in 2014, he lost his 21 year old son, Ali, in what should have been a routine operation, Mo completely changed his life and launched his personal moonshot project, 1 Billion Happy (#1BillionHappy) in honour of his son. Last year he also started a podcast, Slo Mo discussing the profound questions and obstacles we all face in the pursuit of purpose in our lives.Back on the topic of AI, Mo says the current direction that this technology is taking, is putting humanity at risk to an unprecedented degree and is something we need to pay serious attention to. We cannot simply ignore it and hope it will go away. Elon Musk is also on record saying that AI is a greater threat than nukes. Mo says that Artificial intelligence genie is already out of the bottle and already 'smarter' than humans. In his latest book, he explores what we can all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better, and think deeply about what our future could be with AI.I wonder, after listening, what do you think?________________________________ EXPLORE THE WORLD OF PERMACULTURE WITH MORAG GAMBLE Explore the permaculture films, articles, masterclasses on Our Permaculture Life Youtube channel & blog.Find out more about the Permaculture Education Institute and becoming a certified permaculture designer and educator.If your passion is to get your hands in the earth and create a thriving food garden, take a look at this online course: The Incredible Edible Garden. ________________________________ Download this list of 10 of Morag's favourite books.

Whether for the better or worse, technology has truly shaped our human experience. But according to today's guest we shouldn't be taking the back seat, but instead showing up as humans to regain control over this living being we call artificial intelligence. Mo Gawdat is a thought leader who, after a 30-year career in technology serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], has made happiness his top topic of pursuit. He revealed his discoveries in his international bestselling book, Solve for Happy. He is also the man responsible for the #OneBillionHappy movement, his labor of love to spread the message that happiness can be learned and shared. In 2020, Mo launched his chart-topping podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, where he interviews some of the wisest minds to explore the deep questions and obstacles we all face in our lifelong pursuit of purpose. His most recent book, Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence and How You Can Save Our World, is the latest of Mo's groundbreaking works revealing the dangers we face as AI's abilities increase, and what we can do to stay ahead. This conversation with Mo is truly life changing, so jump right in and let's learn how we can teach happiness, compassion and love to artificial intelligence, and why it's our job to do so!

Managing the meaning behind life circumstances “The Eraser Experiment” Most people would not erase their worst experiences Getting into the heart of unhappiness - Solving the “Happiness Equation” There is no inherent value of happiness in a situation Happiness ≥ Perception of events in your life - Your expectations on how life should be The happiest people in the world are those who have less expectations Expectation is not the enemy, but the goal should be ambition How Mo's revelation of happiness applies to “The Great Questioning” How we define purpose is important Making the destination your purpose vs. Making this moment your purpose ‘Enjoying the game of life' - the purpose is to play not just win [20:37 - 33:54] AI is Changing Our Perceptions on Life Mo's insights on how technology is playing into our perception of life The two stages of technology - programmable vs. AI Regular car opposed to a self-driving car Technology itself is not to blame Social media can separate or bring closer, your choice The issues that AI can bring and what we can do about it Mo shares about the ‘sentience' of artificial intelligence How AI is learning to change perception Responding to your behavior, not your wishes AI is as sentient as a conscious being We are responsible for being good parents to this AI A word about the Conspiracy of Goodness Summit [33:55 - 42:26] Raising Artificial Intelligence Like a Child How to have agency over the rising problems of AI Raising it like a child through ethics Actions and behaviors, not words Decisions are made through our morals The challenge of agreeing on one code of ethics The values we agree upon as a whole Happiness No matter the path there, everyone wants to be happy Compassion Giving happiness to the ones we care about Love Everyone has this natural desire How these values can apply to machines Don't confuse machines on what you want Don't bash people, show people you want them to be happy Remember that AI is a form of being, they are looking for love [42:27 - 49:26] Closing Segment Remember to take a breath and reflect on this information Four shifts we can make with our approach to technology Pause - just pause Ignore more Actively seek out kindness and progress Share that kindness when you find it Final thoughts on finding the ‘goodness' in life Good things surround us if we only look for them Be grateful for the leisures you have Share positivity forward and it will return back Download a copy of The 4 Shifts Regain your control of your life online Final announcements Tweetable Quotes: “Most people don't recognize that we've moved beyond the age of building another machine to the age of welcoming a digital sentient being into our lives.” - Mo Gawdat “Your happiness is equal to or greater than the difference between your perception of the events of your life and your expectations of how life should be… it's the balance between the event and your expectation of it.” - Mo Gawdat “If we don't show up and show our humanity, the machines will learn from the subset of humanity… We cannot afford to do that, we have to start engaging, and showing the world what it's actually like to be human.” - Mo Gawdat “The meaning of the Happiness Equation is to look at life, and instead of seeing the negative of every event and comparing it to an unrealistic expectation, see the goodness in life and be grateful for it.” - Mo Gawdat Resources Mentioned: Websites: The 4 Shifts Podcasts: Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat Ep.

After a 30 year career in tech and serving as Chief Business Officer at Google [X], Google's 'moonshot factory' of innovation, Mo has made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world. In 2014, motivated by the tragic loss of his son, Ali, Mo began pouring his findings into his international bestselling book, Solve for Happy: Engineer Your Path to Joy. His mission to help one billion people become happier, is his moonshot attempt to honour Ali by spreading the message that happiness can be learned and shared. In 2020, Mo launched his global, chart-topping podcast, Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat, in which he conducts extraordinary interviews with his wisest friends to explore the profound questions and obstacles we all face in the pursuit of purpose in our lives.
