Description

Historian Yuval Noah Harari says AI is the first technology that is not just a tool, but “an active agent” doing things we didn’t anticipate and might lose control over. The bestselling big thinker spoke to Matt Galloway in front of a live audience in Toronto this September about AI’s possible consequences, and why humans are smart enough to put a man on the moon but too stupid to achieve peace on Earth. Listen to the rest of the conversation here and here.
