Video Description

The disruption AI is bringing is unlike anything we've ever seen — faster and more profound. But the real question isn’t about the technology itself. It’s about how we choose to use it. In this eye-opening talk, I explore the true nature of AI, how it has evolved beyond traditional computing, and what it means for humanity’s future. I share insights on the difference between artificial general intelligence and augmented intelligence — where humans and AI collaborate for extraordinary potential. We’re on the brink of a world of abundance, where challenges like poverty, climate change, and even extending human life could be solved. But there’s a darker side: if AI is misused by bad actors driven by greed and power, it could lead us toward a dystopian future. This isn’t just a technological problem — it’s a moral and ethical one. The future depends on us — on our values, decisions, and leadership. Join me as I unpack: - How AI is different from previous tech advances - Why intelligence itself isn’t good or bad — it’s how we apply it - The incredible potential for abundance AI offers - The risks posed by those who misuse AI - What ethical leadership looks like in the AI era - How to prepare for and shape this future What do you think? How can we ensure AI benefits all of humanity? Share your thoughts below — let’s start a meaningful conversation! #ArtificialIntelligence #MoGawdat #FutureOfAI #EthicsInAI #TechForGood #AIRevolution #Abundance #UtopiaVsDystopia
