Will the next nuclear bomb be AI Superintelligence? The intelligence we’re building will reshape the world in ways we never imagined—for better or worse? But more importantly, what side will humanity take? In this episode, Mo Gawdat, bestselling author of Scary Smart and former Chief Business Officer of Google X, joins Dave to tackle the profound challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence presents.
