Mo Gawdat believes up to 30% of jobs in certain sectors could disappear by 2028.
That stopped me in my tracks.
Mo was one of the first people to come on this podcast and warn me about AI, long before most of the world was talking about it.
At the time, it felt early.
Now, it feels like the world is catching up to what he was seeing.
I’m still trying to understand what AI actually means for our lives.
Not just whether it can write emails, create images or make us more productive. I mean what it does to jobs. What it does to power. What it does to education. What it does to human connection…
That’s why I wanted to have this discussion with Mo again.
What makes Mo worth listening to is that he saw these systems inside Google years before most of us had even heard the term AI. His book *Scary Smart* now feels like it was written for this exact moment.
Let me explain why this discussion matters.
Mo believes we’re not just entering an AI revolution. We’re entering a period where AI, robotics, economics, surveillance, digital currencies and global instability are all colliding at the same time.
That’s a lot for any of us to process.
We spoke about:
– The jobs Mo believes are most at risk from AI.
– Why he believes that AI is actually underhyped!
– The mistake almost everyone is making with ChatGPT.
– The prediction that changed even his own view of the future.
The part that stayed with me was this idea that human connection may become the real currency.
Because if AI can produce the information, write the report, analyse the data, then what is left?
I don’t think this conversation gives neat answers. That’s probably why it’s worth watching.
It helped me think more honestly about what’s coming.
