The Future of Humanity - with Yuval Noah Harari

[@vickigehring6899]

AI cannot hold my hand or cry with me when my mother is dying. If people agree with this vision for the future of humanity, the world is in serious trouble.

[@gulfgypsy]

Thank you for saying that! Harai is IMO a brilliant techno-despot who envisions all of humanity being treated like nothing more than waking flesh with their minds, may even free will, controlled by AI --- Never forget -- this utterly depraved person like Klaus Schwab and the WEF are pushing the mantra of: *You will own nothing* And if they get their way, that will include your body, mind and free will. The very definition of a dystopian nightmare brought to life.

[@rdizzy1]

This is very true about doctors and the medical profession in general, people have this extremely incorrect assumption that only low end manufacturing jobs or manual labor jobs will be replaced with AI/robots, but there are VERY many high end jobs that require 4-10 years of college that will be replaced as well, doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, stock brokers, accountants, bankers, etc,etc. All easily replaced by AI.

[@Hangrid1]

No its not, where is the prof of that? Watson only out perform doctors when you put the right symptons. How well will do this made up future were you get a body fluids analises everyday? The actual doctors use a process: patiente feel the symptons, doctor discover the cause, doctor prescribe the cure. Will we have such advance AI that dont make errors on all this process too? Its a very simplistic view for a complex problem and thats not right when deciding the future.

[@rdizzy1]

Hangrid1 You seem to forget that doctors currently make errors all the time, yes AI in 20-30 years will make diagnoses with 10x more accuracy and 10x less errors than even the top doctors. Same with surgeons, even brain surgery will be done by AI, automated brain surgery.

[@DomSithe]

Exactly. Even the best human surgeon in the world can't see at the micro meter scale, nor move their limbs at even the millimeter scale with repeatable accuracy.

[@Hangrid1]

Im a mechanical engineer and as far as i know there isnt a AI that grew a conscious to conduct her actions, meaning it always do what is program to do. It can learn with her mistakes like google translator does but cant evolve the language, for example, that said it would be possible to use the AI to do the simple and linear processes but never to use instinct to solve problems, unless it can simulate them. There are too much we dont know about our own body to program a AI to solve them, as for the self driving car is a simple process of going from one place to another in a safe environment so it have less potencial for errors. Being a surgeon or doctor is more about making the right decisions them to have the best performance so i dont see it being made in a near future.

[@rdizzy1]

Hangrid1 Doctors already have even worse limitations on their own brains with recalling memory and overall knowledge, as a computer can use a neural net of all knowledge in existence within seconds. Also this video is about 20-30 years from now, that is comparable to going back to 1986, which only one year prior the very first domain name was registered, and in home desktops weren't even commonplace, etc,etc,etc. The advancements by 2036-2046 will be unfathomable.

[@viveknishad5262]

Universal Basic income is mandatory so that people can spend money and the money flows in the economy. This will give people a little comfort to take risks and do what they wanted to do instead of worrying about the food.

[@danielkatona8778]

"The entire economy relies on labor." But human labor is going to worth nothing. You won't be able to rationally "convince" a company to sell you a product because you won't be able to give anything in exchange. It's just not worth it for them. So either humans will have the inherent right to claim products for free or we just go extinct and robots open restaurants for themselves.

Instead, wealth continued to concentrate into a few hands and the benefits leisure have accrued to an opulent class with the vast majority of people becoming all but expendable the eyes of those who now own the world, and they are being treated as such.

I'm a little skeptical about AI being able to provide us with emotional support in the future.. Wouldn't the knowledge that something is programmed to support you take the comfort out of it? Perhaps the element of empathy comes into believing something/someone has chosen to help you. Humans are social animals - we find solace in knowing other members of our species are rooting for us. I don't think emotional bonding can be replaced so easily.

[@rbewoor]

Arjan Engelen Good point. But bear in mind thats also because we have grown up in this environment and use this frame of reference in making such a value judgement. Imagine a child born in 20 years from now interacting with an ipad like device from the age of 1.5 to 2 years, having it respond with empathic inputs and talking that way. The childs reference will incorporate that the machine (AI) and their parent/human can deliver the same kind of responses. They will be indistinguishable to such a kid and he'll be comfortable with both. No to mention the AI will ALWAYS be beside him giving him its full undivided attention, unlike a parent or friend or human can! Its something like kids today saying why do i need an alarm clock, watch, dictionary, address/contacts book etc when i have it all on my phone.

[@notmyrealpseudonym6702]

Arjan Engelen - there are mri studies showing that a part of the prefrontal cortex has a neuron type and distribution that activates when humans, dolphin, whales or primates determines if an event/cause is from inanimate or animate means. So depends on how a human views their computing devices (E.g as artifical intelligence or complex algorithms). A humans ability to bond with the inanimate and give it animate qualities to empathize with abound (a child's loss of their teddy bear, an adults loss of a beloved possession, swearing at the bed when you kick it). So human capability to adapt is rapid. Heck people attribute small squiggles on a screen with meaning etc von economo neurons - Google Scholar scholar.google.co.nz/scholar?start=30&q=von+economo+neurons&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5&as_ylo=2014#d=gs_qabs&p=&u=%23p%3DeDagPf-GJwIJ

Mankind leadership used to be wise in the same way. but now those with power and leadership take everything they can and leave very little for others.

With due respect, sir, I might wonder if you're really seeing the big picture here. Why would mankind be governed by a human, a governor, a president or a leader, when there are algorithms that can make better calls or judgments, and in a faster way? To me, Dr Yuval Noah Harari's thoughts and studies made me realize that, in a very short period (considering exponential growth of technology), humans will not apply for nothing. Not evening the high ranked jobs. That scares me and, at the same time, makes me curious (it also makes me wonder what type of drugs were Aldous Huxley using in order to precisely predict this future of ours, but that's for another story).

In his book and other lectures, he does talk about authority and how it shifts from centuries to centuries and the impacts of it. In the latter stages of the last century and the current one, humanist philosophy or humanism has come into good effect where one is told to ‘love themselves’ so we end up choosing and deciding things individually which gives birth to sayings like ‘the customer is always right’ because he knows best. From politics where its said ‘the voter knows best’ to economics where ‘the customer is always right, its all served right back to us. The leaders will do what they have to do to be in power and we keep on choosing leaders for us one after the other. Its become a viscous circle.

There is a beautiful book by Silvano Agosti: Letters from Merryland (in italiano originale Lettere dalla Kirighisia) a poetic image but not only poetic about how human been , artificial intelligence, politics could harmonize themselves and leave room for a serene life even for us human beings. When asked: "what to teach children ?" At the moment the key words that comes to my heart are : presence, art, knowledge, and certainly the ability to invent yourself continually. I can imagine an artificial doctor, a driver, an artificial lawyer, and so on. But I certainly can not imagine an artificial intelligence that plays a piano and invents melodies you never heard before or a dancer who paints space with his body and his emotions. Imagination and creativity are powerful tools. Science itself needs visionary beings that go beyond the already known; So the answer I can give myself now is that a future possibility is to be HUMAN BEING ( as the word itself says , being ... not human making human will ......) in full presence of his creative abilities and why not, maybe even with the biological changes needed to make it last much longer

Theres a reason you arent taught how to ferment your own shit and use it as fertiliser. Because you can buy it.

The only time in history from today forward, where individuals will need to know how to be independent in these ways is if humanity fails and we will need to rebuild. But you seem to forget, as a collective race we have (and will develop far better) methods of rebuilding which will still not require people to know how to survive. Think about a future where people do not need sustenance, and cannot break bones, where people can build houses by speaking the word and smelt metals by a wave of the hand. It may seem magic, but its rudemantary technology which we are ALREADY on the verge of developing.

As with most utopian ideas, RBE self-promotion makes itself sound great, emphasizing things it claims (with little proof) it would do better than patching up and extending the current system into an increasingly jobless future. Supposedly RBE will have experts (somehow) put in charge of all resources, and (somehow) determining the best allocation of resources to meet all human needs, and (somehow) avoiding telling people how to live their lives (somehow) without using something like a monetary UBI to constrain consumption. MAYBE a super-intelligent, all-seeing AI might be able to anticipate global human wants/needs fairly accurately even as external conditions and societies change. Do we want that sort of monitoring? Would we put it in charge if it didn't first threaten us with extermination? And could even Saint Super-AI avoid telling people how to live their lives, without limits on consumption other than individual wisdom and availability of efficiently allocated goods ?

The answer is Resource Based Economy. Google it. Watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward. Then create a facebook group called "Build an RBE City + -name of your city-", add a description explaining this plan and share the link for that group in other facebook groups and pages that have similar interests and are from the same city. Also tell about the group to all your friends and people you know who might have and interest. Then, as people start joining the group, start making weekly meetings and discuss first what the goal of the group is, cause the more on the same page everyone is on the group about what the group's goal is, the more efficiently the group tends to work. After defining the group's goal, the next step is to create a strategic plan for achieving that goal.

I disagree with Yuval over not knowing what to teach kids. I think its almost quite obvious what to teach. Maths, Speed Reading, English Literature programming and training kids how to learn independently and think critically. Also it's important to teach children that religion as literature rather than reality of an earlier time. Kids need to be able to critically see the flaws in past religions yet still admire some of the facets from it. There should be an emphasis on philosophical thought and communal and universal cultural identities need to be born. Also SPACE...there is so much in space that we do not know and we will always need to engineer and develop new ways of travelling and exploring the stars. So the sciences will always be useful. Robots will take over many of the mundane jobs but as a species we can come together and find ways to explore the galaxies. We also need to get it to a place where it's economically viable. The biggest danger in a life of smart robots is religion...in particular Abrahamic religions and most especially Islam. When people lack purpose or are in tough situations they can often turn to religion and become more fundamental in their belief. Now if your religion tells you you can obtain Jannah and 72 virgins if you wage jihad against the kuffar as the quran and authentic hadiths explain then the world can quickly become a more volatile and dangerous place. Its important to raise our kids aware of religion but to see through the bs of it. Maybe we will need wealth redistribution and a basic income. However the main thing is we must create purpose for people, we must enhance spirituality without the dogma of religion. Maybe purpose will become more of a social duty to help the community or raise a family well or explore...i don't know but people in power need to think about these things and think about it fast.

But what good is knowing how to divide and subtract if you could never, ever compete with a computer. What use do you and your Math skills have, in that case? Speed Reading is pretty much redundant if you have a Program that reads the words out loud for you. Languages and Literature may develop your cognitive capabilities, but in the near future Apps will be able to translate every written or said word better and faster than any human being. Maybe it is only dedication and creativity that matters. And that is what he means by not knowing what to teach. I agree with you when it comes to religion, since it can give you dedication and a purpose. But that only means that we have to remember to find us a purpose. In his book he mentions the "fusion" of technology and humans, which could give us all the wanted and truthful answers we desperately want. But it could also make us a aimless and neutral society.

[@samimidost6587]

I suggest you to study Islam yourself instead of depending on mass media, Quran just allows Muslims to defend themselves. It states that religion can not be forced upon someone. Let there be no compulsion in religion, for the truth stands out clearly from falsehood. Here is the ayah 256 from chapter 2.1 So whoever renounces false gods and believes in Allah has certainly grasped the firmest, unfailing hand-hold. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing. Don't judge Islam by looking only to a small minority who misinterpret Quran.

[@reddredd7088]

In the medical aspect, what Mr. Noah is saying is far way more complicated; when he speaks about watson as a short term possibility he may not be considering all the complexity of the matter, that is not just scientific accuracy or whatever; the machine would have to deal also with insurance subtleties, semantic differences among different "schools", different ways in which persons deal with their emotions(when he speaks about some pattern recognition that can trace your emotions correctly), and of course the human interaction is also important for the patient well being (who wants to speak with a machine about how ones feeling? of course not everyone).

[@mygganapa6486]

Compared to his books ”Sapiens” and ”Homo Deus” this short talk/lecture is some what diluted. If you really want a better basis for understanding the presented ideas and identified possibility for our futures read the books. Yuval Noah Harari is a excellent story teller and they are actually a fantastic adventure to read. Concerning what is understood about consciousness (veryfew things) and what is not understood about consciousness (many thinks), would recommend Sean Carroll's book “The Big Picture”, at least as an introduction to the problem of consciousness.

In the coming years, medical examiners will be replaced by AI and there will be high demands of the operators of these AI medical examiners. Those machine won't be readily available to everyone therefore human will still work as the operator. Human can focus more to discovering medical solutions instead of doing repetitive medical examining jobs.

I think the opposite is true regarding the statement on billions of useless not having political power. For example of the taxi union going on strike. Some of us are not taxi driver but we may sympathize and support them. Now imagine that billions on strike irregardless of their jobs having one common goal which is survival, there will be a revolution if we are not careful in putting a system in place to economically support human either by stipends or making goods freely accessible.

[@arktseytlin]

[@arturolawyer]

phu nguyen A revolution is often a way to get a bunch of people killed as one faction battles another for power. Usually, the very poor are too weak and helpless to stage an uprising. Revolutions usually are staged by relatively well-fed, well-educated people. They are usually guided by an ideology that's pretty vague about the future. And in the turmoil that always accompanies a revolution, any questions or doubts or concerns are usually interpreted as opposition. Opposition, real or perceived, is grounds for destruction. In this sense, it's kind of like religion or "love": questions or doubts are seen as signs of unbelief. Revolution, therefore, brings about largely unknowable results. History teaches us that when things settle down, the best the vast majority of the people can hope for is that they won't be worse off after the revolution. This is because revolutionaries are better than their predecessors in one crucial respect: after defeating the previous regime's repressive mechanisms, they usually replace it with a much more effective model. Revolution is more effective at killing and destroying than the regime it replaces. To the advocates of revolution, I say, "be careful what you wish for, because you may get it."

Unless computers somehow become self aware, emotional and spiritual they will never be able to replace humans in one area at least. Creative arts. A computer will be unable to compose a piece of music, write an epic poem or create a thought provoking film. So I can see a future where mundane jobs are done by computers while humans lounge around all day and create amazing works of art. Also keep in mind that if you can develop a computer that can do a doctor's job better than a doctor then the cost of going to a doctor drops to almost 0. Same for most other industries. If a computer can drive better and safer than a human then public transport becomes a better option than having a car so I don't have to buy a car anymore. So in a world where almost everything is done by computers the cost of living should be extremely low. If not then obviously corporations and governments will be to blame for their greed and corruption and well, we'll just chop off their heads. Never underestimate the potential for violence a hungry nation can have.
