Artificial Intelligence: ‘In 10 Years We Could Be The Cows,’ Warns Prominent Author

Yuval Noah Harari, a military historian and popular science author, has warned that in 10 years, humans could be akin to cows due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). Harari expressed concerns in an interview on The Rest Is Politics podcast, stating that AIs could create a world that is beyond human understanding, much like how cows would not comprehend the financial system managing their lives.

Several researchers have also warned about the potential dangers of AI, with some believing that AI could lead to the extinction of humanity if not regulated properly. The impact of AI so far has been linked to various social and environmental harms, such as mental health issues, job losses, the spread of misinformation, and environmental damage. Overall, there is growing skepticism and discomfort around the rapid advancement of AI technology and the need for government regulation to prevent potential catastrophic outcomes.
