Yuval Noah Harari on the dangers of an AI future | The Economist (Level 1)

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is changing very fast. In a recent interview, an expert said AI taking over the world is not certain. People can still make choices. He talked about Elon Musk. Musk says AI will take over in ten years and money will disappear. But Musk also wants to save money and cuts aid. This is confusing. The expert explained that money is about trust between people. Today, trust is moving from humans to AI. Many people trust computer programs more than journalists or bankers. Some young people even have AI friends. The expert saw a fake video of himself made by AI. It looked very real. He says we must ask leaders about AI rules before 2028. One important rule is to ban AI from pretending to be human or conscious.
