Recommendation

In this stunning talk from Davos 2018, historian Yuval Harari says that those who control data will shape the future. He explains that humanity will soon have the data and technology to plot its own evolution or its downfall, so data need regulation. getAbstract recommends this video to anyone interested in technology, government, ethics and freedom.

Take-Aways

  • Today’s humans may be among the last of their species. In just a few centuries, new entities will reign, and the elite people and firms that control data will design them.
  • Organic biochemistry and natural selection have ruled all living things. But human design will become the new driver of evolution and life, including “inorganic life.”
  • Computing power and copious biometric data make it possible to “hack” human beings. Future algorithms will understand you better than you understand yourself, which could lead to manipulation, even “digital dictatorship.”
