Yuval Noah Harari, a military historian and popular science author, has warned that “In 10 years, we could be the cows” due to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI).
Harari made the comments in an interview on The Rest Is Politics podcast.
Harari follows a vegan diet and has previously touched on the harms of the dairy industry, in particular. His comments on The Rest Is Politics came shortly after multiple reports of AI breaking free of testing environments to hack other companies. Several AI insiders have now commented on the danger of the ongoing artificial intelligence “arms race” and the urgent need for government-led regulation of the industry.
