<p><span data-sheets-value= "{"1":2,"2":"This episode we speak with author & entrepreneur Mo Gawdat about his book \"Scary Smart.\" \n\nArtificial intelligence is smarter than humans. It can process information at lightning speed and remain focused on specific tasks without distraction. AI can see into the future, predicting outcomes and even use sensors to see around physical and virtual corners. So why does AI frequently get it so wrong?\n\nThe answer is us. Humans design the algorithms that define the way that AI works, and the processed information reflects an imperfect world. Does that mean we are doomed? In \"Scary Smart\", Mo Gawdat draws on his considerable expertise to answer this question and to show what we can all do now to teach ourselves and our machines how to live better. With more than thirty years' experience working at the cutting-edge of technology and his former role as chief business officer of Google [X], few are better placed than Mo Gawdat to explain how the Artificial Intelligence of the future works.\n\nBy 2049, AI will be a billion times more intelligent than humans. \"Scary Smart\" explains how to fix the current trajectory now, to make sure that the AI of the future can preserve our species. This book offers a blueprint, pointing the way to what we can do to safeguard ourselves, those we love, and the planet itself.\n\nModerated by Alan Seales.\n\n\n\nVisit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/ScarySmart to watch the video."}" data-sheets-userformat= "{"2":957,"3":{"1":0},"5":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":{"1":2,"2":0}},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"6":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":{"1":2,"2":0}},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"7":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":{"1":2,"2":0}},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"8":{"1":[{"1":2,"2":0,"5":{"1":2,"2":0}},{"1":0,"2":0,"3":3},{"1":1,"2":0,"4":1}]},"10":0,"11":4,"12":0}" data-sheets-formula= "=R[-13]C[0]&" Visit http://g.co/TalksAtGoogle/"&R[-5]C[0]&" to watch the video.""> This episode we speak with author & entrepreneur Mo Gawdat about his
