The Age of AI has sparked significant debates, particularly through the insights of Yuval Noah Harari in his new book, Nexus. Harari examines human history through the lens of information networks, emphasizing that our relationship with information is crucial for understanding AI's impact on society. He argues that the misuse of information leads to poor decision-making, paralleling the consumption of addictive junk food with the consumption of harmful information.
Harari posits that AI is not merely a tool but an agent capable of independent decision-making, which can lead to both positive and negative outcomes.
