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

- 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?
