1 年It would be an honour to meet Yuval Harari during the Global Summit 2023. I got really struck by his book "Sapiens," and the discussion of the cognitive revolution and how it allowed humans to create and spread fictions that led to our success as species. It would be great to find the author’s perspective on the limit to the effectiveness of these fictions, especially as our world becomes more complex and interconnected.

1 年Very much looking forward to meeting Yuval Harari! I would ask: How can we make sure we use data to train the algorithms in an ethical way?
Where do we go from here? What is the next right move?

1 年Can't wait for the Summit! Ever since I read "Homo Deus", I was thinking about the notion that humans may strive to upgrade themselves into "Gods" through technological advancements. Would be very interested to hear his current perspective on that! ??
