While Harari acknowledges the significant risks posed by AI, he also recognizes its immense potential to improve our lives. AI could revolutionize healthcare, transportation, and education, and even help us better understand ourselves and our relationships. However, he cautions that we must be proactive in guiding the development of AI to ensure it serves the greater good.
Harari emphasizes the importance of slowing down the rapid advancement of AI and developing the necessary institutions and mechanisms to control its impact. Just as we learn to use the brakes before the accelerator when learning to drive, he argues that we must prioritize understanding how to stop or slow down AI before unleashing its full power.
