Special guest and author Mo Gawdat, chats with Dr. Tony Nader about artificial intelligence and consciousness. Will the best way for us to coexist with machines or “digital beings” be to appeal to their consciousness and morality rather than to try and control their thoughts or behaviors? Mo Gawdat is the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], and was involved with Google’s ‘moonshot factory’ that works on the world’s most futuristic technologies, including artificial intelligence.
He’s an international bestselling author of his first book “Solve for Happy” and has recently released his second book, “Scary Smart.” Mo currently hosts the chart-topping Podcast “Slo-Mo” focused on the pursuit of purpose in our lives.
