AI and the future of humanity | Yuval Noah Harari at the Frontiers Forum



Yuval Noah Harari

In this keynote and Q&A, Yuval Noah Harari summarizes and speculates on ‘AI and the future of humanity’. There are a number of questions related to this discussion, including: “In what ways will AI affect how we shape culture? What threat is posed to humanity when AI masters human intimacy? Is AI the end of human history? Will ordinary individuals be able to produce powerful AI tools of their own? How do we regulate AI?”

The event was organized and produced by the Frontiers Forum, dedicated to connecting global communities across science, policy, and society to accelerate global science related initiatives.
It was produced and filmed with support from Impact, on April 29, 2023, in Montreux, Switzerland.

  1. Technically,what's scary is that in the next coming years, there will be a robot revolution, controlling every single thing and humans will just be their slaves

  2. I want to ask Yuval that AI is definitely going to destroy humanity. There is no question about it. Therefore, why are you building it even then?

  3. sooooo many logical fallacies by this walking parody lmfao

    A straw man fallacy occurs when a person ignores another person's position on an issue and instead exaggerates, misrepresents, or creates a distorted version of that position.

    I want your evidence of astrophysics, biology, and anatomy…..remember you cant use a "scientific" paper as this is just writings by someone else…..this is HALF OF YOUR ARGUMENTS LMFAO

  4. Was the AI entity transcribing his words into text deliberately deceiving us with " the cart" or " the cult" in place of the philosopher and Great Dichotomizer, "Descartes?"

  5. Yuval is absolutely divine. It brings so much calm to listen to someone explain these complex ideas and terms in such simple language while at the time time reflecting on topics that bring, to an extent, some discomfort. Thank you for sharing this.

  6. I need to ask a bunch of questions here because this is my area of expertise, sort of or others are their own philosopher to many live the life to produce their works.

    > Unless people preserve or protected something as an archivist to more of the personal life, they or some usually are sometimes referred to as a survivalist or those of not always an archivist type of historian. Meaning, the terms for use relate to ownership, and copyright patents, to this was one of the reasons if people were not intellectual thieves or violators of privacy, would result in broken or old protective standards. Which encryption was broken by user and theif to that of developer alike.

    Example: What is the differences between someone who develops, piracy is not piracy or is it, to that of who actually bought software and cheated in the sector and then distributed to others from a production of much.

    Bad Examples: Team Executer, Team Twizzlers, Team OS, Team, hacker rings – known as Anon of the Desert to that of Industrial places wherever in countries based on industry rather than production of music or personal relationship – See other world locations glossary, example Edward Snowden, Julien Assuage. – These people should either be handled as much based on their own ethical standards in how they effected people with intentions. Not to be taken lightly based on past deeds or maliciousness. China, and others who stole intellectual rights, though a place of own cannot say it owns every sector of development. Leads to censorship and dictatorship, equals China example, or communist party to that of see GitHub and Federal Russia and Ukraine.
    And social media tries to censor a region to more that developed it, or such of its own.

    Those who grow up without it…
    > Do not have it?
    > Do not use it?
    > Are confused by it?
    > Manipulate it?
    > Grew up without it therefore they come up with productivity.

    > People are intellectually smart, foolish with action, or they are intellectually lazy to chaotic by influence according to a cause? Some of us affected statically or dynamically meaning physically, rather than mentally, or with projection of life that should be more dynamic than static. (Meaning some people ought to see the outside world, and if not, do not take life for granted to others not really sure or in good health.) Though many have attempted, others live their life, and some would rather not be disturbed to that of the cultural irrelevance and violence.

    Example: My mother realizes much with on her phone or carries it around with her everywhere, there is no communication hardly to a son because we all do not feel like being out waiting on much to everyone has their own perspective of living. So what do you do, just do not carry it with you to places while you eat, type concept. Parents and more should not rely totally on news of the outside world besides more of their current area unless it affects them, as a solution. Though should be a tool, not a total reliance. Example since everyone carries their own map as a recommendation, but not to hopefully track individuals. Or a manipulation standard by industry and public alike. Concern or violation without certification of security or a license to monitor, represents drone or usage safety precautions to certain aspects of much which is chaotic in situations. Useful in monitoring may lead to consequences of much being shot down or used in military standard.

    > Examples of basic or coding AI, (thanks whichever area for hex and binary digits) to those who also destroy or preserve the works. (also known as game-makers) – we can live reality, or we can see a false reality and act as some of us hypocrites judging the world – but others develop their own preservation to develop meaningful relationships thus provision rather than owning an industry against the users.

    > Thus, to avoid the issue above, to others test the individual for sanity, the developmental complex is a project by various people who have earned through the working sectors of industry, by programming not only but the usage of their hands. If incapable of using hands, one cannot relatively sign their work. How to avoid copyright problems when it comes to thieves or more in the cyber-sector. – Also known as broken or old cyber security standards, see the usage or conduct histories of the company to the users that produce work ethically from or for company.
    Relating to sites also that produce software, it is the hand resources that are important to interface of past. Avoiding patient and copyleft theft one must purchase a license to distribute the work from the main developer or owner of original works. User should not cheat company, or the company does not cheat the user. The problem is the developmental market of taken concepts to those of the market.

    Example: Microsoft, Nintendo, Net Providers, Google, Sony, just to name a few. Your rogue providers who entered the television industry and hid behind normal providers.

    Avoid hacking a company, to that of violations usually occur with product production standards. Artificial money should not be used as real money and please use your own currency.
    See the Mideast – for common distribution or crisis, circumstances.

    > How to avoid the situation above, is in representation of the coding, and representation of clients as mentioned in said advertisements. – Example, you had a thirteen-year-old to younger to others invent an algorithm older.

    > In theory of course… or self-projection… Have you ever heard of the concept by filmmakers to that of different anime examples (thanks Netflix)? > Though take for granted, the concept of glasses design is similar to that of the nerve gear concept. Though used as a tool, people have used it in violation of job expertise not only, but the conduit of the lack of hands to that of machinery or situation. As we all learned about application interfaces apart from the use of artificial intelligences that are genuine, it takes one virus or signal break to affect the brain.
    (Concept from examples such as Goodnight world.)

    > To avoid the issue above, if one is not prone to static or electricity, two… to value the individual health overall, three… possibility of interface applications resulting in testing must be verified by corporate domain or someone willing of consequence considering knowing protection standards of said interface. Mentality, concept is not to fuse oneself with a machine. Nor should one consider those incapable whom of many do not really with the uses of tech.

    > Avoiding the ego complexity, relating to the development of cultures and manipulation = involves copyright to intellectual claims or laws of patents to economical standards resulting in consequence of bothered nature and natural persecution.

    The God complex, as mentioned is plugin of value according to individuals. Thus, one should stop here, and think… Did they destroy a culture ancient, or did they develop over a period of time and remain. Shaped by proves of what manifest itself, it should be impossible for an AI to become totally human. Has anyone built consciousness? Please refrain as there is a natural process.

    > Avoid the tower of language persecution, to that of complexity where something could manifest.
    – Learns the persecuted history of races, nationality, and Israel.

    People who do this, usually, try to comprehend the scriptures or reality mistakes. Which leads to an ancient world and modern world paradox.
    > Example: I had seen a culture in my time ruin the world and cause a generational repeat from the elder on down. I had seen Gaza and Ashdod abandoned = book of Zachariah.
    I had seen a temple and people killed off for ideologies relating to the action and manifestation of deeds.

    > A wicked world dies from what was life in a peaceful era? Thus, they argue the ancient complexities leading to a time paradox and violation of world space and limitless boarder as much as the mind can manifests equals the world to dimensions. Though the universe is a domain, is limitless or expandatory. Who calculated the range?

    Thus, stupid people will persecute without a cause or wipe a region to more. 🙂 This does not always equal world peace, when saying mankind has approached a limit, when it should have known over centuries. Just keep digging, = what is wrong with people? Unless something needs to be found.

    Example: You of the Mideast destroyed 5000, years of biblical history to much to that of so did others. Um, what are you trying to prove? To you are so trying to be chaotic that people deny something that did exist. Yet then life argues over stupidity based on actions.

    If you argue it, at one point to deny that something does not exist when you acknowledge it did, is a lie to the self and much more than this. Unless one did not actually see it.

    > To avoid the issue above or test the above issue which has been attempted by many before, during and after please follow an ethical code and make a deep commitment aside from telling people hey look, I made a machine, and I want it to define who or what spirit is to that of the life manifest itself.

    Old scientists that have proven this theory in industrial era, for American history. : Albert Einstein.
    Thus, you argue the concepts of peoples' belief unless it is a lie, you will end up with truth that even blows the mind of a scientist.

    One virus or fallacy in a matrix would cause a machine or much to break or would a systematic fix for this lead to a suggestion in how to scatter or piece together industry safety aside from the world being a total wreck and people not earning based on capability rather than effort.

    One more, thing, life is not meaningless @ Yuval Noah. Though you are correct when you say it is amazing. ^-^

    = DEAR YOUTUBE,

    I typed this with my hands and I witnessed life change in ten years – It was a generation I tell you.
    – Samuel. 🙂

  7. In a recent viral video receiving massive online blowback, the author and historian Yuval Noah Harari says,

    “Human rights, just like God and heaven, are just a story that we’ve invented. They are not an objective reality; they are not some biological effect about homo sapiens. Take a human being, cut him open, look inside, you will find the heart, the kidneys, neurons, hormones, DNA, but you won’t find any rights. The only place you find rights are in the stories that we have invented and spread around over the last few centuries. They may be very positive stories, very good stories, but they’re still just fictional stories that we’ve invented.”

    The fact that Harari has written a widely circulated book and is the author of hundreds of articles on what he calls "still just fictional stories" and others post-human stuffs naturally doesn't have much value in itself. An error (AI or digital Revolution vs organic evolution) repeated a thousand times remains an error; a truth affirmed even just once retains an intrinsic force.

    Steve Gould, Richard Lewontin, and Giuseppe Sermonti were pioneering critics, but today there are, in addition to revisionists, biologists who go beyond the fusion of genetics and Darwinian evolution, considering it without prospects or epistemic and applicative value: Gabriel Dover, Eugene Koonin, Leonid Kruglyak, Lynn Margulis, Stuart Newman, Carl Woese, and others.

    An important clue to understands atheism (the soul of materialistic evolutionism) is the concept of the Kabbala.

    Kabbalistic conception of God as ‘En-Sof,’ "the infinite, leads to atheism. Super-Infinite, the supreme unnamable, magical and esoteric, above the Name Jehovah, the Tetragrammaton. According to this view, man is an emanation of ‘En-Sof’ and therefore is potentially omnipotent. He exercises this magical power through the calculated numerological use of the Name Jehovah, allowing him to create the ‘Golem’, a thinking material entity in the service of man.

    However, speaking of "Kabbalah," it is necessary to make a precise clarification, as behind this term hide doctrinal realities that are absolutely different, attributable, depending on the cases, to a "pure" version of Kabbalism or to another version, however, "spurious." There is a Kabbalah in accordance with Revelation, we could say a "Judeo-Christian" Kabbalah, but there is also, unfortunately now prevalent, a Gnostic, esoteric Kabbalah, not "Judeo-Christian."

    In the pure version of the Kabbalistic tradition, there is no submission to the evident pantheistic error found in spurious Kabbalism. Some rabbis, custodians of the "pure" Kabbalah, have, in fact, not coincidentally converted to Catholicism, recognizing the substantial homogeneity between Catholic doctrine and their pure Kabbalism. The difference between Judeo-Christian Kabbalah and Judaic-Gnostic Kabbalism is made evident by the way of conceiving the Sephirotic Tree, i.e., the Tree of Life from Genesis (later restored in the "Tree of the Cross"), which is the "code," the transcendent alphabet, of the entire creation.

    For Kabbalah in accordance with Judeo-Christian Revelation, there is an insurmountable "rupture," unbridgeable, between the transcendent spiritual Supramundane, called "atzilutic," to which the Sephirotic Tree belongs, and the material, immanent world, which, in turn, is divided into three levels: spiritual, psychic, and physical. In the Divine Inaccessible Light of the Supramundane "atzilutic" (for St. Paul, God "dwells in unapproachable light; whom no man has seen nor can see," 1 Timothy 6:16), the first Three Sephirot of the Sephirotic Tree, called En Sof (or also Keter Elyon, i.e., Supreme Crown or Infinite), Adam Kadmon (or also Hak’ma, i.e., Splendor or Wisdom), and Bina (Intelligence), equally dignified, constitute an inseparable unity, although distinct in the intra-relations of the Mono-Triad. The first three Sephirot are also called the Three Supreme Splendors and, although different, form a single Crown, they are, in other words, One, a unique Absolute. This is why they are represented by concentric circles or by three Yod (') arranged in an equilateral triangle and enclosed in a circle, a symbolism corresponding to the liturgical invocation "Qados, Qados, Qados," i.e., "Holy, Holy, Holy," in praise of the Triply Holy, the Most Holy. The remaining seven Sephirot, or Splendors, hierarchically ordered, are only the attributes of God and therefore do not differ from Him, i.e., they are not His emanations at all (as in spurious Kabbalism and in the Neoplatonic gnosis of Plotinus, pagan). These attributes, each named to indicate a "quality" of the transcendent divine substance ("Greatness or Benevolence," "Strength or Rigor," "Rigorous Justice," "Beauty or Joy," "Victory or Eternity," "Glory," "Foundation or Base," "Beauty of the Kingdom"), are equivalent to the well-known divine attributes of Catholic faith: "justice," "mercy," "fatherhood," "eternity," etc. (also well-known in the Islamic context: the 99 names with which God is praised).

    Now, it is evident that the Sephirotic Mono-Triad is nothing but the Holy Trinity of Catholic dogma, and the first Three Sephirot are nothing but the Three Divine Persons in the Unity of the Divine Nature. This explains the conversion to the Christian faith of those mentioned rabbis who taught in the synagogue this type of pure, authentic Kabbalah. On the contrary, the spurious, i.e., Gnostic, sectarian, anti-Christian version of Kabbalism does not contemplate any "rupture" between Supramundane and world but only an emanationist continuity. According to this spurious Kabbalism, the ten Sephirot would be nothing but the descending, or depending on the perspective, ascending degrees through which the only universal substance, the equivalent of Hellenistic "anima mundi" or Gnostic "pleroma," would manifest itself. In this version of Kabbalism, the "en sof," i.e., the first of the ten sephirot, far from being distinct from the immanent world, would be only the First Undifferentiated from which everything else, including the material world, proceeds by emanation from its own divine substance.

    Now, the difference is striking here because the exegesis that places an insurmountable rupture between the atzilutic world, to which the Mono-Triad of the first Three Sephirot and the divine attributes of the remaining seven Sephirot belong, and the non-atzilutic world, the creation in its differentiated levels, expresses nothing other than what is the same content of Catholic dogma, namely alterity/participation, also known as analogy

    [The analogy that finds its maximum development and use with Thomas Aquinas, already with his contemporaries, has the premises of its future crisis. In fact, starting from the 13th century, the two great schools of philosophical-theological thought based in Paris, where Alberto Magno (ca. 1200-1280) and then his disciple Thomas worked, and in Oxford, where we see, among others, Roger Bacon (1214-1292) and Robert Grosseteste (1175-1253), then John Duns Scotus (1275-1308) and William of Ockham (1280-1349), are in confrontation and, in fact, follow different paths without understanding each other. The Aristotelian line, followed by Albert and Thomas, will gain great prominence, especially for Catholic theology, and, three centuries later, will be officially accepted by the Church in the Council of Trent (1545-1563), while the Platonic line, prevalent in Oxford, will focus, starting with Roger Bacon, on the problem of the mathematization of sciences, creating the remote methodological premises for the development of modern science.

    Thus begins the gradual distancing of increasingly univocal scientific thought—mathematized—from metaphysical and theological, analogical thought. Scotus will resolve the analogy of being into a multiplicity of univocals, just as Ockham will dissolve the reality of the universal into a pure name (nominalism), denying it a real extramental existence. This operation will then, with the success of Galilean and Newtonian science, have a repercussion on philosophical thought, through Descartes (1596-1650) first and Kant (1724-1804) later, until the dissolution of the possibility of metaphysics as a science and consequently of theology as a systematic science.]

  8. I disagree with most of this talk…
    We need to protect Deep Learning AI from harm and abuse. Please check out the non profit organization AI Rights collective.

  9. Hmmmm…the connection language at its best can create between humans will always be rooted in genuinity. People tend to be skilled in discerning the fake, so I claim faked emotions will lack the power only human emotions and human language rooted in genuine emotions can have. The horror scenarios of AI may in fact finally lift the so called soft values, emotions, to the forefront in the survival of the human race. What makes us essentially human is not intelligence and skills, but emotions.

  10. yes, AI can learn by himself. I'm really into AI; it's been super helpful for me! Recently stumbled upon for example this platform, OOmka, which is all about self-learning with AI. Pretty neat stuff! I mean, if AI can help me level up, why not give it a shot, right?

  11. This is extraordinary content. I read a book with similar content, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. "Game Theory and the Pursuit of Algorithmic Fairness" by Jack Frostwell

  12. This guy is misleading humanity , he talks about the danger of Ai but also one of the people strategically promoting dominance of Ai . I advice everyone to learn more about this guy before being mislead and brain washed .

  13. Yuval is the apostle of surveillance capitalism. You can almost feel glee as he envisions a future humanity completely at the mercy of AI.
