Summary

If you enjoy hearing about the potential impact of AI on humanity, I recommend you check out my conversation with ex-Google office, Mo Gawdat which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bk-nQ7HF6k4 He has shown millions of readers how humans have evolved to where we are now, but what does the future hold for us as a species? Yuval Noah Harari is a best-selling author, public intellectual and Professor of History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is best known for his bestselling books, ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’, ‘Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow’ and ‘21 Lessons for the 21st Century’. His books have sold over 45 Million copies in 65 languages. In this interview, Steven and Yuval discuss everything from how AI will change everything, the importance of language and stories, why the idea of finding a ‘soulmate’ is a myth, and the ongoing battle for human attention. You can pre-order the 10th anniversary edition of ‘Sapiens’, here: https://bit.ly/48JVQ6c Follow Yuval: Twitter: https://bit.ly/3HdUxR7 Instagram: https://bit.ly/41WLbCT YouTube: https://bit.ly/3vyAwm0 Flight fund: https://flightfund.com/ Watch the episodes on Youtube - https://g2ul0.app.link/3kxINCANKsb My new book!
