Yuval Harari

How to Survive in the Era of AI

Humans have been developing technology in order to obtain the level of power that only our imagined gods of the past have been able to wield. But with great power comes even greater responsibility. Is humankind indeed ready to handle such god-like power and responsibility? The world’s most promising young historian, Yuval Harari, offers us a glimpse into the future of humanity as we learn to live with these unprecedented technological advancements.

What threats does humanity face in the 21st century?

 Historian Yuval Harari of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, shows us how this once vague idea of an AI world is slowly becoming a reality. AI technology has already started replacing people in a variety of industries. However, we have yet to see any substantial discussions about the concerns of an AI-centric future and how it will affect hundreds of millions - if not billions - of people and their livelihoods. What social and economic changes should we be preparing for?

 Yuval Harari explores the relationship between humans, technological advancement, and happiness. While humankind has been successful at harnessing powers such as energy and AI technology, have we been successful at converting that progress into happiness? At some point humans began developing technology in order to obtain a level of power that only our imagined gods of the past had been able to wield. But with great power comes even greater responsibility. Is humankind indeed ready to handle such god-like power and responsibility? Yuval Harari offers us a glimpse into the future of humanity as we learn to live with these unprecedented technological advancements.

 We live in a world that is run by data. More than any other advancements, data has the power to bring safety to our daily lives. However, if placed in the wrong hands, it can be a weapon more dangerous than conventional weapons of war. Yuval Harari suggests some basic principles that should be adhered to in order to live in a world that benefits from the use of data to improve our lives. Yuval Harari will give us a better understanding of the world of AI with interesting case studies and show us the social, economic, and political changes we will likely encounter.
