Recommendation

In a provocative and wide-ranging conversation with tech journalist Kara Swisher, historian Yuval Noah Harari, author of 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and behavioral economist and psychologist Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking Fast and Slow, consider history, human nature and technological change. They note significant broad trends and cast the future shift to AI decision-making as world-changing. 

Take-Aways

  • Responsibility for decision-making is shifting to artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms.
  • AI will destabilize societies, displacing professionals and unskilled workers.
  • Humanity’s greatest hope and greatest danger during this transition is “the ability to hack human beings.”
