Harari: In 10 years, algorithms and artificial intelligence will rule the world.

World Economic Forum Expert Yuval Noah Harari: "In 10 years, algorithms and artificial intelligence will rule the world. And I'm not talking about some Hollywood fantasy about a giant computer conquering the world. It's more like an AI bureaucracy, we'll have millions of these bureaucrats everywhere. In banks, in government, in companies, in universities. Making more and more decisions about our lives. Every day. Whether to give us a loan, whether to hire us. And it will be harder and harder for us to understand this logic. The reason why the algorithm refused us a loan, why it hired someone else. Democracies may remain, people will vote for this president or that prime minister. But if the decision is made by AI, then people, including politicians, will have a hard time understanding why the AI ​​decided one way or another. And then power will gradually pass from humanity to these new alien intelligences."
