The Nexus of Information: Yuval Noah Harari Explores the Power and Peril of Data in a New Age

In his latest book, ‘Nexus,’ renowned historian Yuval Noah Harari delves into the nature of information, its role in shaping human societies, and the profound implications of artificial intelligence (AI). He challenges the notion that more information always leads to truth, arguing that information’s power lies in its ability to connect and organize people, rather than represent reality. Harari examines the historical evolution of information systems, from ancient myths to modern AI, and explores how they have both facilitated cooperation and enabled oppression. He warns of the potential dangers of AI, including the creation of new myths, cults, and political movements that could threaten democracy and humanity itself.
