In this extensive interview for the Quake Horizon podcast, technology evangelist Javier Sirvent shares bold predictions about artificial intelligence and its societal impact by 2030. He argues that a super‑intelligent AI (AGI) will emerge after 2030, leading to a dystopian phase where the middle class disappears and humans may become largely unnecessary. Sirvent criticises Europe’s premature, over‑protective legislation and its massive compute gap (often quoted as 1,000‑to‑1 compared with the United States), which he says hampers competitiveness. He contrasts the rapid production capabilities of companies like Xiaomi (a car every 127 seconds) and the dominance of autonomous‑vehicle players such as Tesla, Waymo, and Chinese firms, foreseeing imminent widespread robot‑driven mobility. He discusses the low adoption of AI tools in Spain (only ~3 % of users paying for AI services versus 51 % for Netflix), the data‑harvesting business models of many AI providers, and the privacy risks of “AI‑in‑the‑middle” services. Sirvent highlights practical tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Runway, Google’s AI features) and the need for businesses to move beyond consulting firms toward self‑service AI toolkits, citing BBVA’s internal GPT deployment. On the labour front, he warns of massive automation that will replace many jobs across both large corporations and SMEs, urging continuous learning and emphasizing three survival pillars: talent, talante (attitude), and technology. He stresses humanisation of organisations, empathy, and ethical leadership, urging politicians to think of future generations. Sirvent also introduces the concept of “entorno cani”, a VUCA‑like chaotic environment characterised by non‑linearity and anxiety. Finally, he touches on AI’s role in medicine (potential 25 % increase in life expectancy), the economic implications of longer lives, and the future of multimodal AI assistants (e.g., Alexa‑style therapists). The conversation ends with a call for humility, good‑natured leadership, and a focus on human values amid rapid technological change.
