Former Google X executive Mo Gawdat warns AGI could arrive by 2027, triggering 30% job losses in certain sectors by 2028 and potential civil unrest. He argues the real danger isn't AI itself—it's how humans deploy it for surveillance, warfare, and profit. Without ethical intervention and government action, the next decade will bring economic dystopia, though he believes superintelligence ultimately favors humanity. AGI will likely arrive by 2027, and entry-level knowledge work jobs will disappear first—not blue-collar roles—with 30% of jobs in certain sectors gone by 2028.
