🗣“AI is no longer a tool — it’s an agent”
At WEF 2026 in Davos, historian Yuval Noah Harari delivered one of the starkest warnings yet about artificial intelligence. His core message: we’re misunderstanding what AI is becoming.
The shift Harari is pointing to
• Past technologies were tools, passive instruments humans controlled.
• Modern AI is different: it can learn, adapt, decide, and act autonomously.
• That makes AI not a tool, but an agent something that participates in the world, not just serves it.
Why this matters
• AI already operates in the domain humans once dominated: language.
