❓ Why AI Will Save the World
In his latest book, Nexus, Yuval Harari references Marc Andreessen’s essay “Why AI Will Save the World.”
Marc Andreessen, a prominent American entrepreneur and influential investor with a net worth of $1.8 billion, is celebrated as Silicon Valley’s leading visionary for his steadfast optimism in a tech-driven future. Andreessen was instrumental in shaping the internet, having developed the first popular web browser, Mosaic, in the 1990s. He also co-founded the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), which has backed numerous groundbreaking startups.
The era of Artificial Intelligence is here, and boy are people freaking out. Fortunately, I am here to bring the good news: AI will not destroy the world and, in fact, may save it.

Talking to an empathetic AI friend really does improve their ability to handle adversity. And AI medical chatbots are already more empathetic than their human counterparts. Rather than making the world harsher and more mechanistic, infinitely patient, and sympathetic, AI will make the world warmer and nicer.
