Slay News labels him a “senior advisor” to the WEF, but Harari never claims to hold a role with the WEF, and Zopf confirmed he is neither an employee of nor an advisor to the organization. The article revolves around comments made by Harari, a renowned writer and lecturer in the history department of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. "These are false claims to discredit the important work that the World Economic Forum does on serious global challenges." "The World Economic Forum never called for AI to rewrite the Bible," said Yann Zopf, a spokesperson for the WEF. There are no statements or articles supporting the idea on the WEF’s website and such an endorsement has not been reported by any reliable news source.
The Slay News article gets several key facts wrong, but chief among the errors is that nobody representing the WEF has advocated for AI-generated holy texts or religions. Harari warns of risks posed by AI, does not advocate for AI religion Harari is not an advisor or employee of the WEF, and the international organization has not endorsed the use of AI to write a new Bible. The article misconstrues comments made by author Yuval Noah Harari, who mentioned the possibility of AI being used to create religious texts in an interview. The article was shared more than 4,000 times on Facebook in two weeks according to CrowdTangle, a social media analytics tool.įollow us on Facebook!
