Yuval Harari with Dan Ariely: Future Think—From Sapiens to Homo Deus

Video Description

In his new book, Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow, Harari examines what might happen to the world when these old myths are coupled with new godlike technologies such as artificial intelligence and genetic engineering. What will happen to democracy if and when Google and Facebook come to know our likes and our political preferences better than we know them ourselves?

Will Silicon Valley end up producing new religions, rather than just novel gadgets? Subscribe for more videos like this: http://bit.ly/1GpwawV Your support helps us keep our content free for all.
