Intelligence is what got us here. There’s absolutely nothing inherently wrong with intelligence, and an abundance of intelligence would solve all problems. Some of you may have heard me with Rebecca talking about sustainability, right? With enough intelligence, we can solve climate change. With enough intelligence, we can prolong human lives. With enough intelligence, the end of jobs would be an amazing thing, because by the way, we humans were not made for jobs anyway. [...] This is a moment where we recognize that nuclear bombs and harnessing nuclear power can be good for us or bad for us. This is the moment where we get together before the first nuclear bomb and say, "People, seriously, with enough intelligence we can have enough abundance for everyone. Can we please stop fighting?"AI Verified source (Sep 27, 2023)

Verified: the source URL is a transcript page for Mo Gawdat’s Nordic Business Forum 2023 talk and it contains the quoted passages verbatim in sequence, including the opening Intelligence is what got us here section and the later nuclear bombs / Can we please stop fighting section, with only omitted intervening text. An independent transcript mirror matches the same wording, and Nordic Business Forum’s day-1 coverage on September 27, 2023 supports the attribution and date.

Disputed
Mo Gawdat did make these remarks in his Nordic Business Forum 2023 talk: the transcript at the supplied URL contains the first paragraph essentially as given and later includes the line about getting together before the first nuclear bomb and asking, “Can we please stop fighting?” ([ytscribe.com](https://ytscribe.com/de/v/u9CEUzH4HL4)) However, the submitted block is not strictly verbatim as written: it skips intervening sentences without marking an omission, and the transcript says “This is a moment where we recognize...” rather than “This is the moment...”. The official Nordic Business Forum page also identifies this as Mo Gawdat’s 2023 talk and summarizes the same point.

AI Unverifiable
The source URL (ytscribe.com - YouTube transcript site) returned HTTP 403 Forbidden and could not be fetched. However, the quote is independently confirmed via web search results which attribute it to Mo Gawdat's Nordic Business Forum 2023 talk, including verbatim phrases: "right now is the time to get together and say 'we can have enough abundance for everyone, can we please stop fighting'" and the themes about intelligence solving climate change, prolonging lives, and the end of jobs as a positive. Vote alignment is correct (for "AGI will create abundance"). Marking ai_unverifiable since the source URL blocks AI fetching.
