AI has "hacked the operating system of human civilization", says Yuval Noah Harari

Pedro Pinto and Yuval Noah Harari delve into the future of artificial intelligence and together, they explore pressing questions in front of a live audience, such as: 

- What will be the impact of A.I. on democracy and politics? 

- How can we maintain human connection in the age of A.I.? 

- What skills will be crucial for the future? 

- And what does the future of education hold?


"If we are so smart why are we doing so many stupid things? Humanity is not that simple." says Yuval Noah Harari.

An interview filmed on May 19 2023 in Lisbon, produced by Francisco Manuel dos Santos (FFMS).

Harari argues that AI has "hacked the operating system of human civilization". 
He ask what will happen to the course of history when AI takes over culture, and begins producing stories, melodies, laws and religions?

Harari reflection is that "if we are not careful, we might be trapped behind a curtain of illusions, which we could not tear away—or even realize is there. 
Just as a pharmaceutical company cannot release new drugs before testing both their short-term and long-term side-effects, so tech companies shouldn’t release new AI tools before they are made safe. We need an equivalent of the Food and Drug Administration for new technology."
