?Harari's Warning: Navigating the Perils of AI, Immortality, and Fiction in the Quest for Humanity's Future
✏️Moharram Aghazadeh
1. Historian Yuval Noah Harari cautions that humanity is on the brink of a new era of wars, and swift action is required to re-establish order; otherwise, our species is destined for doom. He highlights that people often pursue goals without fully grasping the potential consequences. For instance, the quest for immortality might lead to unprecedented anxiety and terror in the face of accidental deaths.
2. Harari identifies artificial intelligence as a significant peril, being the first technology capable of autonomous decision-making. This raises concerns about AI taking control, manipulating human behavior, and rendering those in positions of power mere puppets when crucial decisions are algorithmically determined, such as in global financial matters and warfare. Despite these threats, Harari holds that change is possible, and he aims to guide public discourse towards the critical challenges confronting humankind.
3. The historian emphasizes the prevalence of fiction in shaping our perception of reality. He contends that many aspects of our reality are, in fact, products of fiction, and our minds are constantly engaged in creating stories that can obscure our understanding of the world. Harari warns that unchecked manipulation by fictional narratives can lead us astray, disconnecting us from reality.
4. However, he also recognizes the positive potential of stories, viewing them as tools for cooperation and mutual assistance. In this light, Harari suggests that as long as stories are used as instruments to foster collaboration and aid one another, they can be a source of positivity and progress for humanity.
