The Perils and Promise of Artificial Intelligence

Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari for an in-depth conversation about the intricacies, benefits and threats of Artificial Intelligence and how the world should move forward using AI and the risks of what could happen without regulation.

In this interview, Piers Morgan speaks with historian and philosopher Yuval Noah Harari about the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI). Harari describes AI as a tool that can autonomously make decisions and generate novel ideas, which sets it apart from previous technologies. He expresses genuine concerns about the potential dangers of mishandling AI, highlighting scenarios where AI could be used for destructive purposes, such as creating super viruses or destabilizing the financial system.
