BT Clip: AI Will END Democracy Before We Even Notice… (Emad Mostaque)

The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast with Julian Issa

Show Notes

Is democracy already becoming obsolete in the age of AI?

Emad Mostaque, founder of Intelligent Internet, shares why he believes the status quo is over, why democracy as we know it cannot survive the rise of superintelligent AI, and why the race for AGI could determine who controls the future of humanity.

In this clip, Emad explains why AI may eventually replace human decision-making, how power is becoming concentrated in the hands of a few AI companies, and why governments must rethink ownership, governance, and the role of AI before it's too late.
