‘It’s 100% crap’: Ex-Google exec rejects tech CEOs’ rosy claims that AI will bring a golden age, warns even they aren’t safe

Technology leaders have long promised that artificial intelligence (AI) human progress will bring the golden age. However, a former Google manager sharply rejected the idea that AI would create new jobs and increase human business, and instead warned that he would trigger widespread losses in the coming years. Google X’s former business officer Mowdat said to a CEO Podcast’s diary, “My faith is 100% shit,” he said. He said that the best workers in any area may remain for a while, but AI will soon take over the jobs.

AI layoffs continue

Many companies have already cut staff or frozen recruitment to prepare for AI -oriented labor. Duolingo, Workday and Klarna are among those who change the replacement of human workers with AI systems. Gawdat foresees a “job armageddon” in the next 5 to 15 years.

The former Google manager warned that CEOs should not feel safe because AI could replace them. “CEOs celebrate that they can get rid of people and have productivity gains and cost reductions because AI can do this job,” he said. “The only thing they don’t think of AI will also replace them.” “AGI will be better than people, including being a CEO. Indeed, you must imagine that most clumsy CEO will be a time when it will be changed.”

AI’s role against human values

Despite his warnings, Gawdat said that AI was not responsible for business losses. Instead, he pointed out that capitalism focuses on the existing human values, especially profit and labor arbitrage. “There is absolutely no wrong thing about artificial intelligence – there is a lot of wrong humanity in the age of the rise of machines,” he said.

AI can replace world leaders for better governance

AI already performs tasks such as coding, customer service, management and market analysis faster than people. The leaders in Google Deepmind and Openai estimate that AI will overcome even the most powerful people by 2030.

Gawdat suggested that AI could develop global leadership by changing the immoral company managers and world leaders. “The only way to reach a better place is to replace the bad people on the hill with AI,” he said. “Otherwise they lose their advantages.” He warned that the AI-Special leaders are “inevitable, because technology will grow both good and evil.

Calls for AI regulation grow loudly

Concerns about AI’s influence caused Openai CEO Sam Altman and Google CEO Sundar Pichai to call for arrangement. Altman proposed an international organ similar to IAEA to control AI development requiring audit, security test and distribution controls. In his 2023 blog post, Altman wrote, “We will need something like an Iaea for the efforts of the super -like,” Altman wrote.
