Historian / Writer Yuval Noah Harari cautioned against a data-centered dystopia that we will live in the near future in his speech during his Davos Summit this year.
Sapiens and Homo Deus, the historian / writer Yuval Noah Harari, once again stamped the scope of this year's Davos Summit. We have compiled important chapters for you from the speech of Harari, who draws attention to the unique hazards that the biology and the data can bring forth in the near future when they come together with today's information capacity.
We are probably the last examples of the Homo sapiens species. In the coming period we will find ways to rebuild our body and mind. So the data will become a new product in the economy of the 21st century. Textiles are not automobiles or weapons; bodies and minds will develop. The rulers will determine what the life will become. Those who control the verse will define not only humanity, but the future of life. It will become the most important being of the world. In the past, it was against this. But it belonged to a very small, limited pavilion. In the age of industry, machines have left behind the value of precious land. The introduction of a large number of machines into a small number of people gave birth to classes among people. This is how the capital and working class were born. Today, data is taking the place of machines. And if the same kind of control is given to a small number of people, it will be separated into different types rather than human classes. It is important because today, not only computers, but organisms can intervene, we 'hack' them in a sense. We need powerful systems and plenty of money to hack the people. We have to have information about how the body works. Up until now, nobody had the equipment and equipment needed for hacking. Even the states that follow every step of the citizen, every detail through the intelligence networks, lacked the power to manipulate and make meaning. Today this is changing. Two parallel evolution makes this possible. Machine learning and artificial intelligence and developments in biology and brain science enable us to solve people. As a result of our 150 years of work, we have learned that organisms are in fact composed of an algorithm. And now we have the ability to solve the algorithm of these algorithms. By turning biochemical data into electronic signals, we have enabled computers to analyze it. With enough data and information power, we can reveal structures that know us better than we. With the spread of power and knowledge, it will be difficult for us to hide ourselves from Amazon, Alibaba or intelligence services. Whether you're browsing the internet, spending time on social media or watching videos, our algorithms will be able to profession us by following our eye movements, heart beats, and mind activities. Advertisements will personalize our sexual tendencies even when we market their products. We will not be aware of this, but they will. They will read our passions and present their offerings accordingly.
This era can create a 'digital dictatorship'. Democracy creates decision-making by distributing information to different institutions. All the information and power of the dictatorships are concentrated in one spot and carry out the work. The power that artificial intelligence and machine learning in the 21st century can emerge can dictate the dictatorship, which stands for the superiority of democracy. If the democracy can not adapt to the process of data processing, people can fall under the yoke of digital dictatorships. We observe that democratic (USA, Israel) countries that use technology even today work to build such structures. Verinin control can lead an elite group to create more radical structures than digital dictatorships. These elites may decide to decide the future of life with the ability to dominate the human body. The science assumes the task of transferring natural evolution processes to intelligent design. This design is not the God in the clouds; IBM, which uses cloud systems, is based on the minds of companies like Microsoft. The science will move us from our organic boundaries to the inorganic boundaries. We are drifting from the 4 billion year old organic life to the inorganic life that intelligent design will shape. This is more important than ever. So we have the knowledge and experience about the ownership and use of the machines or machines, but we have insufficient information to organize the data. This is difficult because, contrary to land and machinery, information is scattered in many places and can easily be copied. It is difficult to talk about ownership. It is not wise to charge politicians with the responsibility of doing things in this way, because they are not reliable enough either. Many politicians and governments are inadequate for the vision of the future. They are nostalgic stories of the past that they gave to the societies. I speak as a historian: it was not as fun as you thought it would be, you would not want to live in those times. And it is not possible to go back. This can not be a solution. We need to consult scientists, lawyers, philosophers, even poets about ownership. This is not just an issue that concerns the future of humanity, not all life. This problem will come to our agenda within the next few decades. After 200 years, I do not think people will stay in today's sense anyway. Today a lot of people will come out. Most of the people today think about what they bought, what link they clicked, but the important thing is the biological data. They think computers are the only thing to be hacked, but the body is a much bigger target. The real target is the brain.
My country Israel is building a system of pursuits not seen anywhere in the world in the West Bank. People are trying to control every step of every sense. China, North Korea and the United States. Today, however, this pursuit is still on traditional systems. Tomorrow we will be forced to wear a smart wristband, things will change even more. I am talking about systems that will report to the center how you feel when you see the poster of your leader on the street. No government will want to stay behind in such a race unless there is a good global consensus. The solution to this problem requires the cooperation of many different groups. We will live up to the great contradictions in the field of health. We will have to make choices between privacy and good service. We will give authorities for our body and our brain for a better diagnosis and treatment. I think he will get well. People will give up their privacy for better health. In some countries and situations it will even be compulsory. If you want an insurance on better terms, you may need to give this data.
