In a wide-ranging conversation with Ian Bremmer, filmed live at the historic 92nd Street Y in NYC, bestselling author Yuval Noah Harari delves deep into the profound shifts AI is creating in geopolitical power dynamics, narrative control, and the future of humanity.
Highlighting AI's unparalleled capacity to make autonomous decisions and generate original content, Harari underscores the rapid pace at which humans are ceding control over both power and stories to machines. "AI is the first technology in history that can take power away from us,” Harari tells Bremmer.
The discussion also touches on AI's impact on democracy and personal relationships, with Harari emphasizing AI's infiltration into our conversations and its burgeoning ability to simulate intimacy. This, he warns, could "destroy trust between people and destroy the ability to have a conversation," thereby unraveling the fabric of democracy itself. Harari chillingly refers to this potential outcome as "a social weapon of mass destruction." And it’s scaring dictators as much as democratic leaders. “Dictators,” Harari reminds us, “they have problems too.”
Harari's insights into AI's impact on democracy, intimacy, and social cohesion offer a stark vision of the challenges and transformations lying ahead. "The most sophisticated information technology in history, and people can no longer talk with each other?"

Yuval is so wise! Thank you very much! 🤗

[@augustuslxiii]

It's important to understand the difference between AI (the narrow kind, generative and otherwise), AGI, and ASI. Like he said, it's an evolutionary process.

[@debrutomeyer9117]

You have just gained another subscriber. Actually little of what he said is not general knowledge- but to hear it ALL at once is a shocker.

[@jawsone]

Yuval didn't qualify with an example why he thinks AI is a threat to finance, I wonder what his rationale is?
Don't understand why GZERO doesn't have more subscribers. Always great content.

AI Replaces jobs, so people lopse money and now we need to redistribute money, leading to probably socialism or communism, which obviously scares the elites

[@MatteoSettenvini]

I would assume it is linked to AIs playing stockbrokers on Wall Street with people's finances, and being pitted against other AIs to see who comes on top.

[@thiamhuatang5109]

In another video, Yuval said that AI will make Global Finance System so complex that no Human Being can understand it. In short our world will be uncontrollable. If AI crashes our systems, Humans cannot do anything to stop it.

Do you still have an impression? In 2018, I sincerely shared something about human collective consciousness and human inner vibration frequency that is suitable for the brain wave consciousness of the head. It is closely related to the energy of the universe, and the brain self is connected with the collective. The resonance of consciousness is fair to me, so it is not closed. Even if you don’t care about what you see or hear, it will automatically enter your brain, and then it will still be transmitted as a collective consciousness. What it means is the collective consciousness. But when it reaches a number, it explodes double the number. Is there any value above that number? So this is not something thrown by the company's express delivery. This is just after the epidemic in 2018. At that time, I started to share that

Nvidia ceo said we are 5yrs away from achieving AGI.

[@ScottGaul]

One month ago, at the time of recording it was 10 years. Your comment comes one week after recording. That is why it is only 5 years. (By the time you read this comment I am sure AGI will be here in less than 2 years.) 🤣

[@kshen7485]

No, only greedy and selfish capital could be like that.
