Yuval Noah Harari draws a compelling parallel between artificial intelligence (AI) and The Matrix, warning that unchecked AI could lead to a dystopian reality where human autonomy is undermined. As AI systems increasingly influence our choices and behavior, Harari highlights the ethical concerns surrounding its control, potential for manipulation, and societal inequalities. He argues for the importance of transparency, ethical development, and global collaboration in AI regulation. Harari urges that human-centered AI must be protected so that future generations do not become slaves to machines and AI stays a liberating tool rather than an enslaving one.
