The famous intellectual also made a stunning AI prediction, suggesting his own interpretation of this famous abbreviation.
Harari stated that the AI abbreviation should be deciphered not as “artificial intelligence” but as “alien intelligence.” He said that there is nothing artificial about AI. Its new forms are developing on their own. The philosopher is definite that AI is capable of producing a different kind of creativity, and “precisely because of that, it’s really going to be a game changer in so many fields.”
Harari believes that this will even be true of the finance field. The philosopher considers financial devices as “a kind of art form.” Here he named such financial tools as bonds, currency and Bitcoin, stating that the people who came up with the ideas of creating them had shown outstanding creativity. “It’s sort of art. Very creative. Very imaginative,” he said. Therefore, Harari expects artificial intelligence in the future to come up with “new types of financial devices that no human being would ever imagine creating.”
The intellectual pointed out that this is “an alarming development” since money was invented with a goal of creating trust between strangers.
“I understand the causes for this distrust, but it is an alarming development,” Harari pointed out.
