Yuval Harari Says AI Could Control Us—Are We Already Losing?

Yuval Harari Says AI Could Control Us—Are We Already Losing?
👋 Hi, I am Mark. I am a strategic futurist and innovation keynote speaker. I advise governments and enterprises on emerging technologies such as AI or the metaverse. My subscribers receive a free weekly newsletter on cutting-edge technology.

AI isn’t the future, it’s the present, and it might already control your decisions more than you realize.

Yuval Noah Harari warns that AI isn’t just another invention; it’s the first technology that can think, create stories, and build networks without us. Unlike past technologies, AI doesn’t wait for human decisions, it makes its own.

Social networks show us how quickly technology can spread lies because truth is costly, complicated, and uncomfortable, while fiction is cheap and easy. This makes humans vulnerable to AI-created illusions, weakening trust in society.

To prepare ourselves, we must:

  • Strengthen human trust first.
  • Develop rules so AI clearly identifies itself.
  • Slow down and invest in safety first.

Lasting innovation requires trust and transparency. Our future depends on clarity, and taking time to understand new technology. Are you ready to trust AI, or should we first learn to trust each other better?
