Yuval Noah Harari, speaking at the University of Oxford, drew a parallel between the rise of bureaucracy and the potential emergence of superintelligence, suggesting that AI is evolving from a tool into an agent. He raised concerns that humanity's extensive public discussion and documentation of AI risks and takeover scenarios could inadvertently provide a future superintelligence with a comprehensive manual for defeating humanity.
