What does the mind-blowing story of humankind look like through the eyes of artificial intelligence? 'Once Upon A.I. – Inspired by Yuval Noah Harari' is an experimental short film featuring over 260 strange and spectacular images, generated by 13 different A.I. algorithms.
AI is different to any tool humans have previously created. It can learn, change and make its own decisions. A knife cannot choose whether to cut a vegetable or commit murder. An AI can – and it can lie and manipulate to serve its own interests. How do we ensure we benefit from AI while remaining in control?

Yuval Noah Harari delves into the foundational role of storytelling in human civilization, the existential challenges posed by artificial intelligence, the geopolitical implications of the Ukraine war, and the most pressing questions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Harari argues that unlike other species, humans have thrived on their unique ability to construct and believe in shared stories, which has underpinned the formation of societies, governments, and laws. However, this same capability has led to wars, inequality, and exploitation. “Humans don't fight over territory and food,” Harari tells Bremmer. They fight over imaginary stories in their minds."
‘Unstoppable Us: How Humans Took Over the World’ is Yuval Noah Harari’s first ever book for younger readers. It tells the unbelievable true story of humans, revealing the secret super-power we all have.
