On August 5, Fast Technology reported that, according to media reports, Mo Gawdat, former chief commercial officer at Google X warned that artificial intelligence (AI) will replace most workers in the next decade, including software engineers, corporate CEOs, and even podcast hosts.
At the moment, many people still underestimate the speed of this transformation. Mo Gawdat used his startup, Emma.love, as an example. Emma.love, which develops AI products focused on emotions and relationships, is currently run by just three people, whereas traditionally the same scale of the company would have required 350 developers.
She also predicted that our society will enter a “short-term dark period” starting around 2027. During this period, large-scale unemployment will continue to emerge, social unrest will intensify, and the economic structure will face serious challenges due to its inability to adapt quickly to new changes.
She stated, “If you’re not in the top 0.1% of the pyramid, you’re at the bottom of society, and the middle class will no longer exist.” But he also believes a bright future, filled with freedom, creativity, and interpersonal connections, is possible. Public online information shows that Mo Gawdat once served as Chief Business Officer of Google X. He is widely known as the author of the book “The Happy Algorithm.”
It is said that the motivation for writing this book came from a deep grief: his son Ali died due to medical negligence during a minor surgery. On the 17th day after losing his son, he confronted his inner pain and wrote this book, “The Happy Algorithm.”
