'Humans are cows of the future': Harsh Goenka shares 'a frightening AI thought' by Yuval Noah Harari

Industrialist Harsh Goenka has shared a chilling thought about the future of artificial intelligence (AI), drawing attention to a warning by author Yuval Noah Harari. His message carries an unsettling question: what happens when machines become so intelligent that humans can no longer understand the systems running their lives? Harari, best known for his book Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind , has compared the possible future relationship between humans and AI to that between humans and cows. “We are the cows of the future,” he warned, describing a scenario in which artificial intelligence could develop financial and legal systems so complex that people might struggle to understand or control them. Goenka shared the video, highlighting the disturbing possibility that humanity could eventually find itself at the mercy of technology it created.
