YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

I am thrilled to have had a conversation with Professor Yuval Noah Harari (@YuvalNoahHarari) in Los Angeles about his new book 'Nexus'. (The full discussion is 55 minutes long; we recommend watching in full-length.)

In this talk, we delved into his inspiration and motivation for writing 'Sapiens', a phenomenal bestseller. His new book 'Nexus' is a condensed history of information, spanning from the Stone Age to the AI Age.

Despite humans acquiring more and more information, they are increasingly driven by emotions like hatred, fear, greed, and arrogance, leading to many self-destructive acts. This is the central theme explored in 'Nexus'.

Why is AI potentially more dangerous than the atomic bomb?

As AI becomes more human-like, people are gradually becoming tools. Where do we go from here?

How will AI impact and "enslave" humanity?

What skills should we cultivate in the AI era, where jobs are increasingly at risk?

In a world overloaded with information, how can we stay away from anxiety?

History may not repeat, but human nature does. This is the warning Professor Yuval Noah Harari raises in all his books. In the latter part of this discussion, we focus on how we can avoid the anxiety brought by information overload and being "always online." We hope Professor Harari’s insights on information fasting and meditation provide valuable inspiration and help for everyone.
