Yuval Noah Harari strongly agrees and says:

Superintelligence would likely break the very operating system of human civilization - and is completely unnecessary. If we instead focus on building controllable AI tools to help real people today, we can far more reliably and safely realize AI’s incredible benefits. (2025) source Verified

Should humanity build artificial general intelligence?

Yuval Noah Harari agrees and says:

[…] there is enormous positive potential otherwise we wouldn’t develop it. AI can invent new medicines. Uh, you can have AI doctors providing billions of people around the world with much, much better healthcare than what people receive today. I’m not saying, oh, we should stop all development of AI. No, the key question is how do we enable the positive potential of AI to flower while avoiding the really existential risks that this technology poses. (2024) source Unverified
