The Intelligence Explosion Is Coming | Mo Gawdat at Expo City Dubai

Video Description

2025APCS at Expo City Dubai Artificial Intelligence is moving faster than anything I’ve seen in my 30-year career. In this keynote from Dubai, I share why I believe we’re approaching an AI breakpoint, a moment where intelligence will grow beyond our ability to track it, driven by self-developing systems and exponential capabilities. I talk about what’s happening inside AI labs, why 2026 may mark the “intelligence explosion,” and how cities around the world will transform as a result. I also explain why ethics matter now more than ever, and why I often refer to this moment in history as “raising Superman.” We’re getting an unbelievable superpower in our hands. Whether it becomes a force for good or a force for harm depends entirely on how we choose to build, deploy, and guide it. Dubai has always been a preview of the future for me, and I share why I believe it’s uniquely positioned to lead the next wave of AI-driven change. If you want to understand where artificial intelligence is really heading, far beyond writing emails and simple tasks, this talk will give you a clear view of what’s coming. #MoGawdat #AI #artificialintelligence
