What does Yuval Noah Harari think of A.I.?

What does a historian know about the future?

Hey Everyone,

This is going to be a short piece. It’s important that we expose ourselves to optimistic and pessimistic views about what A.I. is and what it will do in the 21st century.

Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli public intellectual, historian and professor in the Department of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is the author of the popular science bestsellers Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century.

Yuval Noah Harari argues that AI has hacked the operating system of human civilisation

I was interested in his opinions he shared in the Economist recently.

While some of what he says is clickbait of the pessimist variety, he may actually be right. His concepts on how A.I. could make a fake religion are fascinating. I mean let’s face it, it already feels like we are living in an era of the cult of A.I.

Storytelling computers will change the course of human history, says the historian and philosopher.
