The length of human existence is almost a drop of water in the ocean compared to the age of our planet. Most of the possibilities we take for granted today are for our ancestors in the distant past. from a dream it consisted of

How we got here and what our future will look like through the eyes of an expert In this article, we will evaluate these discussions in light of “Homo Deus: A Brief History of Tomorrow” by Yuval Noah Harari, one of the most famous historians of our time.

According to Homo Deus, the history of mankind can be divided into three main periods: the “prehistoric period”, most of which takes place in nature, the “posthistoric period”, which is under the yoke of undisputed absolute authorities and supreme instructions, and the “enlightenment period”, which mainly includes the post-renaissance period.

According to Harari, before the “Enlightenment Period”, people had to use only nature and religion to survive and access knowledge. spiritual resources They interpreted the universe based on that. All rules and norms in societies were determined by the absolute demands of supernatural supreme powers.

The only role they assigned to themselves in this equation was that of a passive spectator. Humanity, whose activities barely affect the planet, is, in Harari’s words, “insignificant than a jellyfish“It was a living thing.

“Relief” In his period, man suddenly becomes the protagonist. Now the universe is beginning to be interpreted based on man himself rather than absolute highest sources. Therefore, it is believed that spiritual insights not based on human beings cannot be more absolute than a person’s feelings and beliefs.

This is new people-oriented concept; It evolves into the understanding that the universe exists only for humans, and therefore humans should be considered the center of the universe, and therefore every step that humans take is allowed for their own good. Here is this understandinghumanism” we say.

“Homo Deus”, whose name means “God is Man”, is about the power poisoning people experience and their gradual self-destruction, contrary to what the name suggests.

According to Harari, humanism, which is essentially based on human interests, is also our greatest weakness. Harari’s reasoning is that as this process of automation and artificial intelligence progresses, to human will not be necessary are.

In such a world order, in our author’s words, “a dysfunctional new economic class” and they won’t be able to find a job, so they won’t be able to participate in the economy. Therefore, the economies of states are also at risk.

Of course, contrary to what conspiracy theorists always talk about, the main reason that fuels this process, in which people become increasingly insignificant, is not some great and unstoppable supernatural or demonic force. The reason, the source and the one who will explode in your hands are like you and us. people!

Mentioning this danger many times, Harari said in another interview that the potentially unstoppable rise of artificial intelligence and may one day become superior to humans alone international cooperation and restrictions suggested that it could be prevented by Because in his eyes, and most likely for all of us, this problem is about to become a global problem, like pandemics, and maybe do not bring the end of mankind has potential.

Based on this argument that we have explained so far, Harari’s words “man is a god”, when we reinterpret the title of the work, actually mean that humanity is a god. home-made You realize that there is a possibility that it will be destroyed by an entity. In other words, this pattern does not give any praise to man and on the contrary, power poisoning a needle shape.

What do you think of these arguments by Yuval Noah Harari? Is artificial intelligence a danger to your profession or life?
