Noah Yuval Harari has declared open war on God by suggesting that AI may soon be able to write a Bible that is “actually correct.” Such a new religious proposition is met with mostly blank stares, but Harari is dead serious. Unfortunately, AI is incapable of incorporating mercy or grace into its output.
Editor’s note: the title is edited to more accurately reflect the content of the video. Like most Transhumanists, Harari eschews Christianity and the Bible, believing it to be mythology. His faith in AI leads him to believe that an accurate equivalent of the Bible could be written by the transcendent AI. He is not personally creating a new Bible, but rather forecasting that it will be possible to do so. ⁃ TN Editor
A top official with the World Economic Forum (WEF) has called for religious scripture to be “rewritten” by artificial intelligence (AI) to create a globalized “new Bible.”
Yuval Noah Harari, the senior advisor to the WEF and its chairman Klaus Schwab, argues that using AI to replace scriptures will create unified “religions that are actually correct.”
Harari, an influential author and professor, made the call while giving a talk on the “future of humanity.”
According to Harari, the power of AI can be harnessed and used to reshape spirituality into the WEF’s globalist vision of “equity” and inclusivism.
Speaking with journalist Pedro Pinto in Lisbon, Portugal, Harari told the elitist audience:
“It’s the first technology ever that can create new ideas.
“You know, the printing press, radio, television, they broadcast, they spread the ideas created by the human brain, by the human mind.
“They cannot create a new idea.
“You know, [Johannes] Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century; the printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page.
“It had no ideas of its own about the Bible: Is it good? Is it bad? How to interpret this? How to interpret that?”
Harari then revealed that he and his allies at the WEF have a solution to the supposed problems he’d just highlighted.
“AI can create new ideas; [it] can even write a new Bible,” he declared.
“Throughout history, religions dreamt about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity,” he added.
