SUMMARY:Alien Intelligence: Exploring Yuval Noah Harari's & Bill Gates' Ideas on AI
DESCRIPTION:Join presenter Peter Farnsworth to explore AI through two influential voices: historian Yuval Noah Harari\, whose books have sold over 45 million copies across 65 languages\, and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates\, who has made speaking out on AI his top priority. Harari’s “alien intelligence” challenges our understanding of thinking and creativity. His 2018 book\, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century\, anticipated today’s concerns about work and freedom. Gates’s August 2026 essay “The Turbulent AI Era is Here” urges action on job disruption\, misuse\, and threats to learning and relationships. This visual presentation examines their hopes\, warnings\, and proposals for protecting people and sharing AI’s benefits. \n
