Historian Yuval Noah Harari says that we are at a critical
turning point. One in which AI’s ability to generate cultural
artifacts threatens humanity’s role as the shapers of history.
History will still go on, but will it be the story of people or,
as he calls them, ‘alien AI agents’?

In this conversation with Aza Raskin, Harari discusses the
historical struggles that emerge from new technology, humanity’s
AI mistakes so far, and the immediate steps lawmakers can take
right now to steer us towards a non-dystopian future.

This episode was recorded live at the Commonwealth Club World
Affairs of California.
