We believe our we rule the world because we can think better than anyone else on this planet.\" \nHe added, \"AI already thinks better than many of us. Therefore, anything made of words will be taken over by AI.\"\nHarari said this shift will force people to ask what makes humans unique and whether society will continue to value individuals for mental capability.\nThe second crisis, he said, will be akin to an immigration surge but with AI systems arriving instead of people. \nHarari described \"AI immigrants\" as technologies that bring benefits, such as improvements in medicine and education, while also causing disruption.\n\"Those who are concerned about human immigrants usually argue that immigrants might take jobs, might change the local culture, might be politically disloyal,\" Harari said. \nHe added, \"I'm not sure that's true of all human immigrants, but it will definitely be true of the AI immigrants.\"\nHe asked whether countries should allow AI to become \"legal persons\" with rights to start businesses, form religions, or interact online like humans.\n\"If you want to influence where humanity is going, you need to make a decision now,\" he said.\nAI experts and business leaders highlighted the growing divide between rapid AI adoption and real-world results. \nEarlier, PwC's global chairman, Mohamed Kande, said many companies rushed into AI without strong foundational systems, leaving more than half reporting no benefits.\nAI pioneer Yoshua Bengio said his nonprofit LawZero had found a technical approach to make superintelligent AI safer by eliminating hidden goals, using a concept called \"Scientist AI.\" \nBill Gates described his optimism as \"with footnotes,\" noting AI's growing impact on jobs and suggesting society may need to shorten the work week to absorb disruption. \nGeoffrey Hinton warned that AI capabilities were doubling every seven months and could replace millions of jobs by 2026, while also posing risks of deception and self-preservation. \nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Shutterstock","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.36.2","shortVersion":"4.36.2","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2605103707","isCrawlerRequest":true}
