Tech Whistleblower: You Only Have 3 Years Left Before This Hits! - Mo Gawdat

And I remember, we didn't put it in the film, but I said 10 to 20% is Russian roulette, right?

In that world, however, I believe that's humanity's salvation.

Because if you look at every problem we have today, it's not because of abundant intelligence.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

It's because of lack of intelligence.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

you're bound to make a lot of money.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
