Yuval Noah Harari

Yuval Noah Harari is a world-renowned historian, philosopher, and cyber security speaker, celebrated for his visionary insights into the future of humanity and technology. As Co-Founder of Sapienship and a New York Times bestselling author, Yuval addresses the global challenges posed by ecological collapse, nuclear threats, and, most crucially, technological disruption. His profound warnings about artificial intelligence — which he asserts has hacked the “operating system” of human civilisation — have cemented his reputation as a leading authority on the existential risks of unchecked technological growth.

A prodigy who taught himself to read at the age of three, Yuval earned his PhD from the University of Oxford and now lectures at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. His work bridges history, philosophy, and technology, posing essential ethical questions about the direction of our species. His bestseller “Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind” has sold over 25 million copies, been translated into 65 languages, and endorsed by world leaders such as Barack Obama and Bill Gates. His later works, including “Homo Deus”, “21 Lessons for the 21st Century”, and “Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI”, have only strengthened his global influence.

Yuval’s achievements extend far beyond publishing. He is a pioneer in digital innovation, having delivered the first TED Talk using a digital avatar, and has spoken twice at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His commentary on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine became The Guardian’s most-read opinion piece ever, showcasing his relevance in today’s rapidly changing geopolitical landscape. His high-profile conversations with leaders such as Mark Zuckerberg, along with regular contributions to The Guardian, The Economist, and Financial Times, further highlight his ability to shape public discourse around cyber security, AI ethics, and the future of democracy.

A magnetic and thought-provoking speaker, Yuval Noah Harari is uniquely positioned to help audiences understand and confront the technological forces reshaping our world.
