Join us this Sunday, either in person or online, as we discuss Harari and Tegmark on Humanity and AI.
This Sunday we will watch and discuss Harari and Tegmark on Humanity and AI, a video in which Yuval Noah Harari and Max Tegmark discuss human agency, governing AI and the future of humanity with Bloomberg’s Francine Lacqua at Bloomberg House in Davos on the sidelines of the 2026 World Economic Forum.
Yuval Noah Harari is an Israeli Historian, Philosopher, and the Bestselling Author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, and Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI. His many published works examine themes of free will, consciousness, intelligence, happiness, suffering and the role of storytelling in human evolution.
Max Tegmark is a Swedish-American physicist, machine learning researcher and author. He is a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He co-founded and leads the Future of Life Institute, a nonprofit focused on reducing global catastrophic risks from advanced technologies.
Francine Lacqua is an Italian and British journalist, television anchor and editor-at-large for Bloomberg Television. She anchors “The Pulse with Francine Lacqua” every weekday, and features program “Leaders with Lacqua” where she interviews top leaders in business, politics and finance.
