PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Tonight, we present a talk by Dr. Yuval Noah Harari, who suggests that one glaring problem at the heart of our quest for an AI-led world is the incompatibility of humans and the always-on information cycles. He frequently warns that AI and data-driven systems may erode human agency, and that societies must build new models of trust and cooperation.

According to Harari, the problem is with the information we receive. Humans are generally good and wise, but if you give good people bad information, they make bad decisions. Harari’s work circles around a few big questions:

  • What makes Homo sapiens unique?
  • How do stories, myths, and shared beliefs shape societies?
  • What happens when AI and biotech surpass human cognitive and biological limits?
  • Is there justice or direction in history?

Join us for this fascinating and insightful presentation. We invite all to attend and participate in the follow-up forum discussion.

MEET THE SPEAKER: Yuval Noah Harari was born in Israel in 1976. He is a historian and philosopher earning his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002 and currently lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His research delves into macro-historical questions, exploring the relationships between history and biology, the distinctions between Homo sapiens and other animals, and the ethical implications of science and technology in the 21st century.

Dr. Harari is the renowned author of bestselling books, including Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI. His works have sold over 45 million copies in 65 languages, establishing him as a leading public intellectual.
