'We are cows of future': Harsh Goenka on AI
Industrialist Harsh Goenka has shared a concerning prediction about the future of artificial intelligence (AI), referencing author Yuval Noah Harari's warning. Harari, famous for his book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, likened humans' future relationship with AI to that of humans and cows. He stated, "We are the cows of the future," warning that artificial intelligence could develop intricate financial and legal systems that humans might find difficult to comprehend or control.
Goenka shared a video highlighting the unsettling possibility that humanity could ultimately become at the mercy of the technology it created. Harari based his analogy on the observation that cows live in a world shaped by human decisions but have no understanding of money or financial systems. Similarly, humans may find themselves living in a world where AI systems make decisions about money, business, administration, and law, without humans fully understanding how these systems operate.
