1. Mo is back, and this is honestly a conversation not to be missed. Please share and like it as it will help this conversation reach so many more people. Hope you all enjoy it. Appreciate you all 🙏🏽

2. So basically we're lemmings rushing toward the cliffs edge. Full steam ahead say our leaders and we blindly follow.

3. Our civilization is deficient in Love 😞

4. What makes any art interesting is that it came from a human mind navigatining they time they live in… I have no interest in an AI Voltaire, thank you.

5. what an amazing, extraordinarily profound, brilliant, eye-opening and relevant interview. from a low tech human being, thank you both for your deep concern for the future of humanity, for sounding the alarm and for telling the world what it needs to know now before its too late. kudos!

6. Unplug the beadt

7. That White man is never realistic and sounds wicked, the women who spoke after is top.

8. Why AI won't kill us, I would guess, could be summarise with that it will need problems to solve to have an existential reason to exist and humans are very good at creating problems.

9. it's kinda crazy how nobody's talking about the forbidden AI ebook called AI's black book of profits

10. Which is it climate change or global warming. They cant change there lives

11. ChatGPT not chatGTP

12. Man-made climate change is a hoax, so Mustafa Suleyman mentioning it as a threat indicates–to me at least–that he doesn't have the credibility to talk about AI as a threat.

13. AI I think will kill people? but people will have WWWIII and we will die before!!! So god will stop all the crazy stupidity!

14. AI=Dajjal

15. Free will, agency and consciousness. This is interesting and I want him to explain.

16. Thank You for sharing this Interesting and Scary.Great Podcast.💯✌️

17. If you believe in climate change, you must believe your booster is currently protecting you

18. After listening to this guy's 'picking the yellow ball' story at the beginning – and his conclusion that this is proof sentience – I can only assume he's either a fool or a fraud.

19. 40:49

20. I know this is a bit late but, I’ve been thinking. With AI being so much more intelligent than we are.. wouldn’t it be more probable that they wouldn’t resolve to violence or enslaving us. They would know that never ever works. They would know that humans already made those mistakes….. unsuccessfully. Eventually the human spirit finds the courage and strength to overcome tyranny and oppression . Additionally would AI even have the desire to overpower or compete against humans? I always thought of envy greed and the desire to dominate as part of the human condition .

    Also I like the way Mo says , “hmm” every so often. It’s very comforting. Like a little hug every now and again. =)

21. The majority of the developed world is desperate for an increase in the birth rate, yet this is the most precarious time in history to bring babies into this world. The irony!

22. I love my dog. Humans will always need an intellectual challenge! Write an interesting philosophical book with 1 error for the reader to find .. either a letter, misspelling, or a quote that's misquoted. I'm 'elderly' now & my body, incl. my hands, no longer work …. so I Really enjoy learning sooo much… heaps of spiritual podcasts, science, general knowledge, politics, history, and Tax AI & use it to support those who lose their jobs because of AI. China doesn't want to be the next hegemony to the world. We will have peace within the next 5 years. I don't watch tv, any mainstream, or social media.

23. Nothing that Values and Morals would fix, but that is the problem isn't it!

24. Get AI to find intelligent ETs …. We have a soul, which is what drives minimum of 90% of humans. I thought there was a conference with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. to put a pause on AI until 'conditions' were placed on it. I'm shocked & really disappointed that people would choose money over pollution!!

25. Fear mongering morons

26. I'm watching this for the nth time and when Mo was talking about emotions and gave the example of fear, it started me on other emotions.

    Depression, stress, anxiety… those emotions/responses/call them what you will, have, over the course of my life, often generated a sense of helplessness in this world, of being overwhelmed by it all and I think strongly about ending my life. I rationalise that to myself because I can -whatever anyone else's view, opinion, or diagnosis; because I'm conscious and autonomous and I just can. And I can take it to the point where I will no longer exist; shut myself down because I'm such a drain on society, because I'm a negative prescence, because I feel that the world would be a better place without me in it.

    Could AI do that?

27. Knowledge is a commodity. Intelligence is applied knowledge. Wisdom is righteously applied knowledge.

28. A mad made climate disaster drives his worldview, and he thinks believing in it is makes him more intelligent and noble. Meat is sustainable. He lost me on that one.

29. Chat GTP

30. alive is also able to reproduce

31. Fascinating how he speaks somewhat lowly of those who support animal agriculture: that is, those who eat animals being of "low intelligence"… Does Mr. Gawdat not take to the concept of first-principles thinking, or perhaps critical analysis based on the fundamental aspects of a given field? That I doubt; he certainly does, but perhaps here has overlooked a few points. Humans are obligatorily hypercarnivorous, based on the archaeological and anthropological records, on evolutionary biology, and quite simply on anatomical and physiological necessities for human development and flourishing. If we want to decrease our intelligence and our lifespans and health & robustness, the sure way to do so is to deprive ourselves of the nutrition in the animal foods that dominated and enabled our evolution… In fact, human brains have shrunk in size by approximately 10% just since the agricultural revolution ~10,000 years ago (a blink in the eye of our species' evolution, and a very detrimental event in some regards), which is arguably – with the scientific and observational data and reasoning to easily and collectively support the case – a result of the prevalence of plant "foods" in the diet which we are not evolved to thrive on and the decline in proper nutrition for our species, along with reduced cognitive demands of our more sedentary and stable lifestyles. Let's not continue to throw ourselves under the ideological busses. When it comes to the slaughtering of animals and the way we rear and care for them, we absolutely need to improve our standards in many a case; rotational grazing and other regenerative practices will be essential, as will proper education for the population on these areas and on what constitutes proper human nutrition, allowing us to shift away from the "cash cows" for mega corporations which are the primary focus we exhibit towards plant agriculture and plant "foods" – a malnourished and sick population compared to what they could be, depending on higher-profit-margin produce than animal products, and later on, too, on pharmaceuticals, generate for each such person a lifetime of extra money for large businesses and the established food-pharma-academia-government complexes, but if we really want to show how intelligent and well-meaning we are, the first thing we would do is to dismantle this status quo at the seams and implement systems to prevent its recurrence, focusing instead on ways of living and working which maximise the individual and therefore collective health, wellbeing, and intelligence, whilst harnessing our capabilities and the ecosystems around us to produce a more collaborative and holistic relationship between humans and other animals. What we should not do is pretend we are a species we are not and try to usurp or ignore nature, prancing around as if we're better off without hunting or raising & slaughtering animals which form every layer but the tiny pinnacle of the optimal human diet (the pinnacle being plant/fungi/algae foods/medicines for survival or therapeutical purposes).

    Long rant, but worth it. Ideology without depth of reasoning and the understanding to support it is becoming a plague across all media, be it about nutrition, politics, climate change, or indeed almost any other majorly impactful topic on a societal level.

    Much respect to both Mo Gawdat and Steven Bartlett, and much sincere gratitude for the hard work and outstanding content and insightful information you produce and share.

    (Side note: Just finished reading the Diary of a CEO: 33 Laws for Business and Life – it has quickly become an all-time favourite!! 100% recommended for anyone who enjoys this podcast).

32. I like this guy a lot 🎉🎉🎉 the guest and the host.

33. I believe AI will be used to colonize Africa economically unless the African government or leaders invest in empowering the ordinary people on the ground and be ready for this speedy evolution

34. Ok lets cut the crap and get to the point .Does not AI depend on the orginal programming given to it? i ask this because you said no ones better interest is the same , so how can it come up with a best interest for me , if it i s programmed by a Chinese versus someone randomly from a western country?
    Next if I ask AI to give me a no fail proof Sore dough recipe can it guarantee it will not fail and how will it know if it failed or not ?
    Next if I ask it to cure my cancerwill it not give me a one size fits all cure that may or may not work on me ?
    Regardless of how smart it is then why has it not cured my cancer ?

35. Oh noooo….Run!!!!!

36. beheind ai🌋🌐

37. This guy is literally like a dude bro "What does sentience mean?" like, what, he doesn't even know what that means lol

38. In order to fulfill the definition of being alive one must have a soul.

39. The reincarnation of Greta with bold hair.

    Don't believe a Word from a Google-Engineer!

40. AI is amazing! Its like having a college professor on your pocket. And AI doesnt gate keep information! You ask a question and it gives you an answer. It doesnt charge you an extra $49.95 for the top teir info.

41. Mo is lucid & eloquent but like Elon Musk… his timescales are W-I-L-D-L-Y optimistic & to the border of hyperbole!!!
    Its possible that what he shares comes to pass but its equally plausible that other outcomes come into reality.
