BISness podcast - In conversation with Yuval Noah Harari: AI and the evolution of financial systems

“AI is potentially orders of magnitude more powerful than anything we saw in the Industrial Revolution,” says historian, philosopher and best-selling author Yuval Noah Harari in a new episode of the BISness podcast.
In a conversation with Cecilia Skingsley, head of the #BISInnovationHub, Prof Harari discusses the potential impact of future technologies on human society and the global financial system. “AI is the first tool in history that can make decisions by itself and can create new ideas by itself. Steam engines would not decide how to use themselves. We decided what to do with them. Even atomic bombs could not create new ideas,” Harari warns.
