Yuval Noah Harari on Why AI Is a Real Threat to Humanity

Yuval Noah Harari warns that AI represents the first true competition to human intelligence in history — not just a tool, but an independent agent that can make decisions, learn, and evolve on its own. He argues that while humans teach AI with words, AI learns from our actions — much like children. If leaders and developers act unethically while telling AI to “do good,” the machines will learn hypocrisy instead of honesty.
