In our recent interview, Elon Musk predicted that within a decade artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence, money as we know it will disappear and humans may no longer be in control. Yuval Noah Harari, historian and philosopher, is not convinced by all of it. | | |
|
In a new, wide-ranging interview with The Economist’s editor-in-chief Zanny Minton Beddoes, Mr Harari challenges the contradictions he sees in Mr Musk’s arguments and considers where an AI-controlled future could lead.
One possibility is a financial crash so complex that no one can explain it. Mr Harari imagines a future market crash in which advisers cannot explain what is happening, leaving governments to trust the very AI systems they no longer comprehend. | | |
