The risks and opportunities of the information age | Yuval Noah Harari

Should social media companies be held responsible when their algorithms spread conspiracies? What will happen when AI makes up religions and financial fictions? What effect will intimate relationships with AI have on younger generations? Yuval Noah Harari discusses the potential use and misuse of AI with Kaori Hayashi (Professor of Media and Journalism Studies, University of Tokyo) and Arisa Ema (Associate Professor, Tokyo College) – in a panel moderated by Frank Waldenberger (Director, Deutsches Institut für Japanstudien) Filmed in Tokyo in March 2025. This event was co-organized by the Deutsches Institut für Japanstudien, Tokyo College, and Kawade Shobo Shinsha. #YuvalNoahHarari #AI #Algorithms #Information #Education #Science #DigitalAge #InformationAge #TokyoCollege #DIJTokyo
