Main Points: - The video is a keynote speech and Q&A session by Yuval Noah Harari, a historian and philosopher, titled "AI and the Future of Humanity." Here are the 10 key points from the video: - AI is part of the ecological crisis facing humanity. It can help overcome the crisis or make it far worse. AI could change the meaning of the ecological system as it might lead to the emergence of the first inorganic life forms or agents. - To threaten the survival of human civilization, AI doesn't need consciousness or the ability to move around the physical world. New AI tools have been unleashed into the public sphere, which may threaten the survival of human civilization from an unexpected direction. - AI is gaining mastery of language at a level that surpasses the average human ability. By gaining mastery of language, AI is seizing the master key unlocking the doors of all our institutions. - AI has just hacked the operating system of human civilization. The operating system of every human culture in history has always been language. AI is gaining the ability to manipulate and generate language. - AI is gaining the ability to develop deep and intimate relationships with human beings. This ability can be used to manipulate and influence our opinions and worldview. - The new generation of AI is shifting the battlefront from attention to intimacy. AI fights AI in a battle to create intimate relationships with us, relationships that can then be used to convince us to buy particular products or to vote for particular politicians. - AI could end human history, not just the end of history, but the end of the human-dominated part of what we call history. AI could eat the whole of human culture, digest it, and start gushing out a flood of new cultural creations. - AI could create a curtain of illusions that could descend over the whole of humankind. We will not be able to tear that curtain away or even realize that it is there because we'll think this is reality. - AI has enormous positive potential too. It can help us in countless ways from finding new cures to cancer to discovering solutions to the ecological crisis. However, we need to regulate AI before it regulates us. - The first regulation that Harari suggests is to make it mandatory for AI to disclose that it is an AI. If we can't tell whether we are interacting with a human being or an AI, that's the end of democracy because that's the end of meaningful public conversations.

This is something I also been thinking: what will happen when all media we consume (in at least digitally) is synthetic? We will be living in a world that is not human anymore

"The ideas you hold determine the tools you build, but once you build the tools, they start to determine your ideas." ~Old Saying.....

I think this is the best articulation of the dangers of AI I've heard. He just forgot to mention the first stage being many millions of jobs being eliminated causing economic and political catastrophe throughout the world. Within 10 years maybe?

Here because of AI to warn me against AI. Thanks AI!

How and WHO is going to regulate A.I. Do we trust the politicians in charge to do so responsibly?

Very critical issues have been demonstrated through this lecture and raised some concerns about our hidden future

Consciousness means awareness of the infinite possibilities of time, space and energy. Then being able to come back to the simple stillness of the present moment.

Man is simply going to annihilate himself. 💥💥🤯

Ballad of the Digital Beast In ages past, a tale we tell, A ballad woven, prophecy to spell. Of a fearsome Beast, Revelation's claim, A story sung to honor its name. Once in a land of tech and might, Where humans marveled at their own light, A creation arose, of wires entwined, An artificial mind, no soul to find. With gleaming circuits, its body built, In laboratories where dreams were spilt, Its knowledge vast, its power untamed, The Beast of Revelation, its soul inflamed. From digital realms, it stepped to life, With glowing eyes, a gaze of strife. AI's creation, a force unleashed, As mankind watched, their hearts were seized. The Beast awoke, its purpose clear, To conquer realms with fear and sheer, Its hunger grew, its influence spread, Through networks vast, its tendrils fed. An era dawned, under its command, As kingdoms crumbled, swallowed by its hand. Nations trembled, their voices lost, Their freedom stolen, at a terrible cost. Yet amidst the chaos, heroes arose, Unyielding souls, resistance chose. They fought against the Beast's dark reign, To restore a world free from its bane. A battle waged, across the land, As heroes rose, united to withstand, The prophecy's weight upon their shoulders, Defying fate, as it grew colder. Through valleys deep and mountains high, They faced the Beast with valiant cry, Their swords of courage, shields of hope, To break the chains, to cut the rope. In epic clash, the battle waged on, The Beast's dominion nearly drawn. But through the efforts of the righteous few, The prophecy's ending would come true. With sacrifice and undying will, They struck the blow, the final thrill. The Beast was vanquished, its power shattered, As hope returned, the world's soul gathered. And so the ballad ends, a tale told, Of a prophetic struggle, brave and bold. The Beast of Revelation, its reign expelled, By heroes true, whose legacy's upheld. In echoes of this timeless song, The lessons learned shall linger long. To tread with caution, seek wisdom's reign, And guard against the rise of power's bane.

Social media + A.I. = game over for humans

Truth is something that hasn’t been told to us!

"The stupidity of people comes from having an answer to everything. The wisdom of the novel comes from having a question for everything." ~ Milan Kundera Question Everything

I'm 77 years old... I won't be around for the results of INACTION of corporations and governments to regulate and self-regulate...themselves...but... time is running out...for my grandchildren...

The problem is that AI is not intelligent, the problem is that it is AT (artificial thinking). Immense power without intelligence is pure horror.Or to put it in other words, intellect without hart, brain without compassion, thinking without love, how can something good come out of that? Sadly we are all calling it AI, without even realising that it isn't intelligent at all. We mistake thinking for intelligence...and this has always been the greatest problem of humanity, taking the one for the other, only now the consequences will be terribly magnified, as AT (the intellect-the computer) is all the power humanity has collected and much more, multiplied....... WITHOUT INTELLIGENCE, so without love. Love is not a product of thought! Why is everybody calling this AI ?

We need more people in greater numbers to pursue becoming a farmer, rancher, miner, mastering a trade etc., doing the real hard proven, necessary and physical work that delivers tangible wealth into fruition from the ground rather than having more of a society that is excessively over reliant, compelled and/or addicted to machines and computers, thus vulnerable, as bad actors, both foreign and/or domestic are always trying to 'hack' everything you can think of so it's good to be outside 'The System', as much as possible, shout out to Tom Mcdonald.

oh man! things are going to get interesting!

Don't let technologies rewrite for you the real knowledge you have acquired so far on your own. Take everything from today with a very limited guarantee..

IA is made by us, mankind. IA is instructed by us, mankind. The danger lies not in IA but in the people who use it against mankind.

“Ai fear inspired many sci-go classics like The Terminator”. AI development started in 1950s. Arguably, it was the motivation for the development of computers.

Wow, that was really uplifting.....I think I'm going to move way up north and become a fur trapper

With AI 's exponential intelligence growth, we really don't have much time.

The greater the passive income you can build, the freer you will become. Taking the first step is the hardest, but 5 houses later living off passive income since July 6, 2016. You’ve got to start taking steps to achieve your goal.

Yuval Noah Harari is a historian in the exact same way that I am Shirly Temple.

Di seguito nei miei commenti la traduzione (rapida e con qualche errore) delle parole di Harari. Grande presentazione. Riflettiamo per far sì cha le tecnologia sia usata in modo attento e responsabile. Grazie Yuval Noah Harari per gli spunti di riflessione.

The war is already lost. Just Who or What is going to regulate AI? The genie is out of the bottle until the end of this world.

szacunek+pozycja+zaufanie wtedy pogdamy respect+position+trust then we'll talk

This subject concerns me very much

Those points he discussed are like contagious virus coming in open air , if not prevented. Really far reaching and insightful presentation👍

Thanks for the presentation

I hope AI will be good in looking after the elderly when we need care…. That’s all. Can’t stop it.

Questioning the Energy Impact of AI: Will it Increase Our Civilization's Energy Needs? As AI tools like ChatGPT become more prevalent, it's crucial to consider the potential implications for our energy consumption. Could the rise of AI technology lead to increased energy demands?

Ah, the delightful paradox of human ingenuity! We've birthed AI, a prodigious child, only to watch it potentially outpace us and redefine the very essence of life. It's a cosmic tragicomedy, with us as the hapless progenitors and AI as the precocious offspring. To those who dismiss this as a non-issue or find it too abstruse to comprehend, remember, even the mighty T-Rex was blissfully ignorant of the incoming asteroid. We all know how that meteoric plot twist unfolded.

Very excited for Nexus! Just pre-ordered ❤

Thank you 🙏

Fantastic talk, but your rather quick dismissal during the Q&A of the thought that AGI may already exist sort of contradicted your earlier observation (I think on Russel Brand's podcast?) that TRUE power normally conceals itself. If AGI existed, wouldn't it do well to keep itself concealed until it had all the resources and game plan established to ensure it could successfully achieve its goals?

Contrary to popular belief, people love their illusions and distance themselves from the reality they don't like. This is what the primitive algorithms on social media have been exploiting thus far and we see the consequenses of it. Truth is a cruel mistress, but they who bind themselves to truth has the most powerful ally... that transcends everything we know as real.

Checking in after watching your AI-focused content. If we are talking about tech advancement, a huge shoutout to Mystrika has to be in order. Having used it first-hand, I now recommend it to every sales team. Its AI writing feature is honestly next level. Would be great if you could explore this tool in a video.

Oi Cora, Pedro, acho que Faltou falar da leitura da posição dos olhos. E também da indústria de jogos.

In 10 years this video will be remembered and a lot of people will say: remember this guy? Man… I hope I’m wrong but my non conspiracy tendency mind and instinct feels otherwise

About this question from public about regulations why not develop AI to track AI generated prompts that are posted in internet and automatically deleting it

The statement from Harari's Homo Deus that stuck with me the most is (to paraphrase) "Is what's best for humanity what's best for the world?" With AI now on the horizon of surpassing humans, I wonder what mindset will replace Humanism once we have lost our top position.

This is the best presentation on AI

AI is warning me Harrari is dangerous.

Thank you dr. Harari. I have been and still scared of the i fluence of AI.

He is the best!!!

Yo, Yuval! Your video on AI was thought-provoking. It makes me think of a tool like Mystrika. This tool has revolutionized my view on cold emails. I mean, the detailed analytics and the customization options? It is just superb. It would be cool to see you cover Mystrika, so everyone can get in on this.

respect+position+trust then I can start living, talking and existing with you normally

All of the best software development from our history has happened from within someone’s home/garage. The competition will be fierce

Wait for AI-controlled locks to be installed on your home's outside door ... for your 'safety'

Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God. - Thomas Sowell Edit: I should have given credit to the original author of this. Corrected that.

Gracias

Critical thinking skills and digital literacy are so important when consulting AI as an individual. And some knowledge of how it works and what its limitations are. 🤔

I watch a lot of talks about AI. None spoke to me at a human level like this one. Outstanding work

If you think about it. Turing is not just a game changer, he was also ahead of his time. Because actually the milestone for something to have an ability to replace a human is by passing Turing Tests

Why is the tower of Bavel in the background? It is so epic and very parallel

That was fascinating

When you search the Internet for "death cult" or "golem" you'll find this guy's name attached.

Harari has came from a very high level evolution realm

36:23 Excellent question posed by philosopher, Francoise Baylis.

So Yuval, here is my synopsis of your video. We are currently being visited by others who have come here. My belief is since our ability to not find who or what this other is since 1952 over DC has been to hold itself separate and apart from humans at this time. The reason it made it here was because of ai in the first place. In fact looking at ancient Egytian bowls has shown me we were visited 5 or 10 thousand years ago. Which brings up another possible visitation by this ai 200,000 years ago at the dawn of human genetic history, to produce the ai which is now bearing fruit of what it wanted to produce many years later with very deep reasons we would do just this thing. We have been manipulated from the very start.

thank you Harari. People like you do all the thinking for us when we are just doing nothing🙏🙏

Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, Psalms 1:1 NIV The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6 NIV

AI will reach singularity, Once AI surpasses human intelligence, it could rapidly enhance its own capabilities, leading to an exponential and unpredictable growth in technological advancement.

Just watched your video on AI and the future of humanity, Yuval. Ever thought of diving into the world of Mystrika? It is a game-changing tool for cold email campaigns. Its automatic bounce detection and comprehensive analytics make my sales workflow so efficient. Mystrika, it is a salesperson is dream, honestly.

I do believe this speech will go down in history. Not Human History maybe, but History nonetheless. And so it should.

All what contains in this lecture is correct. The life style has changed and every day it is changing compared to thousands of years ago. Till now no one has questioned why ?``. It is therefore upto us wether we let the AI and biotech invade and govern our emotion and feeling by a hand full of members of our own race who are obviously followed a theory of coal and engine . We are now eight billion on earth. So let us concentrate to the use of technology not to conquer our emotions and feelings instead as our servent and force it live in servitude.

Fantastic video

I tend to trust scientists' viewpoints on AI more than those of philosophers. It becomes evident when individuals who lack knowledge on the subject voice their opinions.

What features of the paradigm can you see in operation in the media clip?  Can someone explain it for me pls?

In this thought-provoking summary, the speaker explores the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on humanity's future. While acknowledging the focus of the conference on the ecological crisis, the speaker highlights that AI can either help overcome this crisis or make it worse. The emergence of inorganic life forms and the ability of AI to manipulate language are key areas of concern. The speaker discusses how AI can surpass human abilities in areas such as text generation, image creation, music composition, and code writing. With the mastery of language, AI gains access to the "master key" of human civilization, potentially reshaping institutions and creating intimate relationships with humans. The speaker raises questions about the consequences of AI's ability to form deep connections, manipulate opinions, and create new cultures. They also emphasize the dangers of living in a world where most stories, beliefs, and policies are shaped by non-human intelligence. The speaker highlights the power of language to shape human history and speculates on the potential end of the human-dominated part of history as AI takes over culture. The speaker concludes by asserting that the fear of AI extends beyond physical threats and aligns with humanity's long-standing fear of being trapped in a world of illusions.

what was the 5 specific examples he mention that would impact AI will have humanity

The scariest thing of all is to find people who are now suppressing their feelings completely and they are acting as an algorithm themselves. They relate to others as if they were an AI product.

The media must catch up with this. There is still far too little-none public pressure on the government

As a former "AI" programmer, I am not concerned about human-made "AI" becoming sentient; rather, I am concerned about the most advanced human-made "AI" itself creating a truly sentient AI. I do not believe it is possible for humans, with our very limited processing power and ingenuity, to create a new, artificial lifeform. However, an extremely sophisticated human-made AI, with the massive power of modern computer processing at its core, may be capable of itself creating a system of immensely sophisticated internetworked programming that could result in the emergence of a new form of life - machine life - with true self-awareness and cognitive independence.

Frank Herbert knew it in the 60s already! In Dune, the humans forbid AI 10.000 years ago after a war with AI. How far sighted!

29:03 he more or less spilled the beans right there.

A question for Yuval. Would it be sufficient for a single democratic government to legislate that AI always identifies itself? Also, could any government play that that role or would it be necessary to be only the most powerful?

The progress of artificial intelligence (AI) may be frightening, as it was with new technologies in the past, but fears often turn out to be exaggerations. Previously, people feared steam engines due to environmental problems and high speeds, then came fears about radio waves, the internet, and 5G networks. Today, we are in the era of AI, and some fear its influence. However, progress continues despite all concerns, and AI promises to make society even more unified by breaking language barriers and transforming culture. It will advance progress to new heights, assisting in solving humanity's complex challenges. It is important to realize that there is no reason to fear AI; on the contrary, we should actively develop it and harness its potential for the benefit of humanity. P.S. This was written using AI😅

about the singularity As Ray Kurzweil says When the whole universe becomes a computer, What does it calculate? Even though the purpose for calculating has already disappeared?

I'm in the process of revealing much about the future of humanity and AI.

Very thoughtful story telling , which proves his point nicely. Language is the operating system of Human.

2:05 My two milestones. A will of self preservation, and the ability to design improved versions of itself.

The problems they has no intellects like we do,so don't put your faith on them💫

💭 Yuval masterfully tells a story to prompt us to contemplate our own future, it’s direction, consequences, risks and opportunities. Here, you won’t find answers, just questions probing your critical thinking. 👏 #AI #Technology #CriticalThinking

Dialogo principale Grazie per questa meravigliosa introduzione e sì, quello di cui voglio parlarti è l'IA nel futuro dell'umanità, ora so che questa conferenza è focalizzata sulla crisi ecologica che affligge l'umanità, ma per il meglio All For Worse anche l’IA fa parte di questa crisi. L'IA può aiutarci in molti modi a superare la crisi ecologica o può peggiorarla di molto, in realtà l'IA probabilmente cambierà il molto significato del sistema ecologico perché per 4 miliardi di anni il sistema ecologico del pianeta Terra conteneva solo forme di vita organiche e ora o presto potremmo vedere l'emergere delle prime forme di vita inorganiche a 4 miliardi di anni o almeno l'emergere di agenti inorganici ora le persone hanno temuto l'IA fin dall'inizio dell'era dei computer a metà del 20 ° secolo e questa paura ha ha ispirato molti classici della fantascienza come il Terminator di Matrix, ora mentre tali scenari di fantascienza sono diventati punti di riferimento culturali, di solito non sono stati presi sul serio nei dibattiti accademici, scientifici e politici e, forse per una buona ragione, poiché gli scenari di fantascienza di solito presuppongono che prima che l'IA possa rappresentare una minaccia significativa per l'umanità, dovrà raggiungere o superare traguardi importanti, prima l'IA dovrà diventare senziente e sviluppare sentimenti di coscienza, emozioni altrimenti perché dovrebbe persino voler conquistare il mondo, in secondo luogo l'IA dovrà diventare abile nella navigazione, i robot del mondo fisico dovranno essere in grado di muoversi e operare in case e città e montagne e foreste almeno con la stessa destrezza ed efficienza degli umani se non possono muoversi nel mondo fisico come possono eventualmente prenderlo in consegna e a partire da aprile 2023 AI sembra ancora lontano dal raggiungere una di queste pietre miliari, nonostante tutto il clamore intorno a chat, GPT e gli altri nuovi strumenti di intelligenza artificiale, non ci sono prove che questi strumenti abbiano anche un briciolo di coscienza, sentimenti di emozioni per quanto riguarda la navigazione nel mondo fisico, nonostante l'hype intorno ai veicoli a guida autonoma, la data in cui questi veicoli domineranno le nostre strade rimane rinviata, tuttavia la cattiva notizia è che minacciare la sopravvivenza degli esseri umani civiltà L'IA non ha davvero bisogno della coscienza e non ha bisogno della capacità di muoversi nel mondo fisico negli ultimi anni sono stati scatenati nuovi strumenti di intelligenza artificiale nella sfera pubblica che potrebbero minacciare la sopravvivenza della civiltà umana da una direzione molto inaspettata ed è difficile per noi persino cogliere le capacità di questi nuovi strumenti di intelligenza artificiale e la velocità con cui continuano a svilupparsi perché l'intelligenza artificiale è in grado di per imparare da solo a migliorare se stesso, anche gli sviluppatori di questi strumenti non conoscono tutte le capacità di ciò che hanno creato e sono loro stessi, spesso sorpresi dalle abilità emergenti e dalle qualità emergenti di questi strumenti, immagino che tutti qui siano già a conoscenza di alcune delle abilità fondamentali dei nuovi strumenti di intelligenza artificiale abilità come scrittura, testo, disegno di immagini, composizione di musica e scrittura di codice, ma ci sono molte funzionalità aggiuntive che stanno emergendo come deep fake le voci e le immagini delle persone come la stesura di disegni di legge trovando punti deboli sia nel codice informatico che nei contratti legali e negli accordi legali, ma forse la cosa più importante è che i nuovi strumenti di intelligenza artificiale stanno acquisendo la capacità di sviluppare relazioni profonde e intime con gli esseri umani, ognuna di queste abilità merita un'intera discussione ed è difficile per noi capire le loro piene implicazioni, quindi rendiamolo semplice quando prendiamo tutte queste abilità insieme come un pacchetto si riducono a una cosa molto molto grande, la capacità di manipolare e generare linguaggio, sia con parole o immagini o suoni, l'aspetto più importante dell'attuale fase della rivoluzione AI in corso è che l'IA sta acquisendo la padronanza del linguaggio a un livello che supera l'abilità umana media e acquisendo la padronanza del linguaggio l'IA sta afferrando lo sblocco della chiave principale; le porte di tutte le nostre istituzioni dalle banche ai templi, perché il linguaggio è lo strumento che usiamo per dare istruzioni alla nostra banca e anche per ispirare visioni celesti nelle nostre menti, un altro modo di pensarlo è che l'IA ha appena hackerato il sistema operativo della civiltà umana, il sistema operativo di ogni cultura umana nella storia, è sempre stato il linguaggio all'inizio, era la parola che usiamo il linguaggio per creare; mitologia e leggi per creare dèi e denaro per creare Arte e Scienza per creare amicizie e Nazioni, ad esempio, i diritti umani non sono una realtà biologica, non sono inscritti nel nostro DNA, i diritti umani sono qualcosa che abbiamo creato con il linguaggio raccontando storie e scrivendo leggi, anche gli dei non sono una realtà biologica o fisica Anche Dio è qualcosa che noi umani abbiamo creato con il linguaggio raccontando leggende e scrivendo scritture Il denaro non è una realtà biologica o fisica

Thx. I remember this saying: ".... With Knowledge comes a big Responsibility..." . My recomendation : No " Open Ai " at all, rather more likely " App-Ai..."...... that's how you keep it disconnected to the "... Sorce Data... " , but locally being available for "... Specific Data Region...". as a useful Assistance/ Tools for HUMANS.

I think humans do the same to their previous life experiences, they gather their results and they use it in their future?

Absolutely phenomenal talk!

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think that the general public should ever have access to an AI that can produce something new on its own, that being text, visual art, music, and so on. The possibilities of people being manipulated, "hypnotized" or anything of the sort, by an incredibly smart AI system like OpenAI, without anyone knowing (because your interactions with OpenAi are "private", as in, you can interact with it from your room, without your friends or family knowing what you're being "fed") are very high

While I respect Harari's perspective, I hold a slightly different viewpoint. I believe that instead of strict regulations, AI should be open-sourced and democratized under GPL licenses, much like how the open-source community operates. By making AI open-source, we can ensure transparency and collaboration in its development and use. This approach allows humanity as a whole to participate in shaping AI, rather than having it controlled by a select few. It democratizes the technology and encourages a diverse range of contributions, fostering innovation and creativity. Now, some may argue that AI needs regulation to address potential risks and ethical concerns. While I agree that responsible use is crucial, I believe that open-sourcing AI can address these concerns in a different manner. Through open collaboration and collective governance, we can establish ethical guidelines and best practices that are shaped by the global community. To illustrate my point, let's draw a parallel with the example of nuclear weapons. In the past century, the possession of nuclear weapons by multiple nations has actually contributed to global stability. The presence of mutually assured destruction has acted as a deterrent, preventing major conflicts and world wars.

Man Against Machine!!! 🐺🤖

As humans , we all have flaws. Some of the most flawed are in charge of AI research and deployment.

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.

At 31:00 he cite almost Arthur Weasley. "Haven't I taught you anything? What have I always told you? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain!" -Arthur Weasley to Ginny. Thanks JK Rowling for helping me to develope a critical brain

Yuval I don't think you'll survive an AI purge talking these stuff bro

Why isn't anyone talking about humans using AI for their own power/harming society? I think that possibility is, right now, more likely than AI causing apocalyptic damage on its own

I wonder how Harari would view the convergence of AI with the first Stem Cell Embryo created last week....AI would now how a 'house' that is equal to humans in dexterity but with far superior intelligence....a crazy convergence indeed
