Excerpt from a YouTube interview (host James Laughlin with guest Mo Gawdat) in which Gawdat warns that businesses that ignore AI risk failure within two to three years. He argues that AI has commoditized what was humanity’s most valuable asset — human intelligence — shifting computers from mere capacity/speed tools to competitors, so organizations must adapt or face obsolescence.
For the person that thinks they can, or even an organization, hide from AI Ignore AI. Is that possible? That you could live in this world in the next year?
You will die in two, three years, Right? There you go die. I mean, by business wise. Yeah. In the next two, three years. It's almost as if you, you hold on to the fax machine in the age of the Internet. That's it. And you have to understand, we've commoditized, available for outsourcing, the most valuable asset humanity ever had, right? So in the past, we, computers came in to give us capacity and speed, right? But we still had, we were still competing on human intelligence. So I would try to run my organization intelligently, in a way, and use computers and systems to give me capacity and speed. Okay? That's no longer the case.
