Yuval Noah Harari’s Davos address – “An Honest Conversation on AI and Humanity” – felt like stepping onto a ridge line where the air is thinner and the view is suddenly wider. You can still walk back down to the cosy valley of “AI is just a tool”… but it becomes harder to pretend you…… Continue reading When AI takes our superpower: Harari at Davos (WEF 2026)
