Yuval Noah Harari and Jessika Gedin discussing his latest book, 'Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI' on Babel – an arts program on Sweden's @svt channel. In this conversation with host Jessika Gedin, Harari explores one of today’s most pressing questions: what should we do when non-human intelligence threatens our existence?
'Nexus' examines how information networks have shaped human history – from ancient oral traditions to modern AI-driven societies. How have these networks empowered civilizations? And in an age of artificial intelligence, what risks do they pose?

I don't think it would be like that. But if the entire world ends up being run on AI, there could surely be dire consequences of it being fed the wrong data, or instructed to operate in nefarious ways. If AI is to be running anything it's source code and algorithms should be public at all times, and any changes made to it should be easily accessable to view.
TY. Well, I definitely see a benefit to humanity in this way.
Replace all the "robotic" jobs that humans currently do which will then allow humans to reach higher levels of consciousness. Boy, do we need that. Too many zombies out there.
I do agree there. We were not meant to stand in assembly lines for 12hrs a day!
Did it for years, albeit sitting down. Thanks winn for the conversation!
Yw fren <3 I too have had my fair share of the assembly line. Kek
One good thing about it was the ability to think all day long once I was able to work on auto-pilot 😆
