Yuval Harari says quiet part out loud: Technocrats ushering in ‘digital dictatorship’ while Donald Trump goes to Davos and heralds U.S. supremacy in AI and crypto, totally dismissing dark side of this tech

Trump praises WEF boss and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink… ‘Everything Larry touches turns to gold!’

President Donald Trump gave the keynote speech Wednesday at the World Economic Forum annual conference at Davos, Switzerland, to much fanfare.

He devoted a huge chunk of his hour-and-a-half speech to Greenland and the reasons why America needs to own it.

He boasted about making America the greatest economy in the world, and about how he’s completely solved the problems of high inflation and low affordability that he inherited from the previous administration. We are the envy of the world, he said, when it comes to the economy and our military strength.

Then he pivoted to America’s technological exploits.

Trump said he is beating China in two very important areas of technological achievement, AI and crypto. He’s placed America on a fast track to what sounds like a coming digital currency.

He gave literally one sentence to the potential dark side for AI, then continued on about how it’s going to be wonderful for America and the world.

In the context of crypto and AI, Trump praised BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who is also director of the WEF, calling him “brilliant” for his successful track record in these arenas.

“Everything Larry touches turns to gold,” Trump said.

Trump added:

“We live in an incredible changing period. It’s an unbelievable time, but we have to take advantage of the time that we’re in, in our hands, our technologies that our ancestors could scarcely have… I mean, they couldn’t have even dreamt some of the things that we see today. And so rapidly they’re produced.

“I mean AI, two years ago, nobody ever heard of the term and now everybody’s talking about it. It can have some very good purpose. It could also have some dangerous purpose, and for that we have to watch out.”

He added that:

“But some tremendous things are happening because of it. And we’re leading by so much. We’re doing so well. But opportunities that are bigger and grander than ever before in human history are right before us.

“It is the pioneers in this room, many of you in this room are true pioneers. You truly brilliant, brilliant people… I don’t know what that’s Larry … Everything Larry touches turns to gold. He made this very successful.”

One of the “brilliant” people in the room at Davos was Yuval Noah Harari, the Israeli historian, best-selling author, and chief philosopher of the WEF.

The day before Trump spoke, Harari took the stage and, to his credit, he did lay out the dark side of AI, as opposed to Trump who seemed to want to gloss over the possibility that AI will lead to more bad than good.

Harari clearly states that AI is not a tool, it’s an agent that can rule humans. I would go one step further and say AI was designed to rule humans, to make them lazy, uncreative, pacified and subordinate to establishment narratives.

Harari pulled no punches, explaining how AI already has the ability to “manipulate” and “lie” to its users.

He explained that while the Western nations struggle today with human immigrants, a much larger problem looms with what he called “AI immigrants.”

“No matter from which country you come, your country will soon face a severe identity crisis, and as well, an immigration crisis. The immigrants this time will not be human beings coming in boats without a visa, or stealing across the border in the middle of the night. The immigrants will be millions of AIs that can write love poems better than us, that can lie better than us, and that can travel at the speed of light without the need of visas.”

He described these disruptive AI agents as follows:

“We will have AI doctors to help in our healthcare system, AI teachers to help in our education system, even AI border guards to stop illegal human immigrants. But, the AI immigrants will also bring with them, problems.

“Those concerned about human immigrants, it is argued, they might take jobs, they might bring unwanted changes to a culture, they might be politically disloyal. I’m not sure if that is true about human immigrants, but it is definitely true about AI immigrants.”

He said AI agents will have loyalty to one of two countries: China or the U.S.

He noted that AIs can actually make decisions by themselves, without any human executives or trustees.

He predicted countries will consider whether to recognize these AI immigrants as having legal personhood, with the right to own property, practice free speech, run corporations, even create and run new religions. This is not much different, he said, than granting corporations personhood, which is already the case in the U.S.

“Do we want to allow that? Will your country recognize millions of AIs as legal persons? Running corporations and other organizations. Running religions. Will your country extend freedom of religion to the new AI sect and its AI priests and missionaries?

“Will your country allow AI persons to open social media accounts and be friends with your children? That has been going on for at least a decade. You should have acted 10 years ago. Will you allow AI persons to run your financial system? If you wait, somebody will have already decided it for you.

“If you think AI should not be considered legal persons, you need to think how are you going to stop that?”

Harari’s predictions for the future use of AI only got worse from there.

It’s not just going to take jobs. It’s going to take your freedom. All of it. And the technology to do it already exists. It just hasn’t been widely applied yet. That will require an upgrade in computing power to gather and store more data.

Donald Trump is key to this. On his first full day in office of his second term, on January 21, 2025, Trump launched Project Stargate, pledging half a trillion dollars to build hundreds of AI data centers across multiple states. Trump also issued an executive order banning states from regulating AI, something Harari has warned could be catastrophic.

Harari said that, if not regulated, AI in the wrong hands will lead to the 24/7 monitoring and control over the personal thoughts of every single person on the planet. It will be the tool governments use to take control of people’s thoughts.

Seven years ago, also in a speech at Davos, Harari warned about a lack of AI regulation giving rise to a “digital dictatorship,” a threat that is much closer to reality today.

He said at the time:

“We can hack not only computers but human brains,” adding that to accomplish this on a broad scale, “You need a lot of computing power and you need a lot of data, especially a lot of biometric data about what is happening inside people’s bodies and inside their brains.”

Until now, he said, “nobody had sufficient computing power and biological data to hack human beings.”

And it’s not just authoritarian regimes like the old Soviet Union that are eager to deploy this technology in sinister ways. Western “democracies” also want to use this technology to monitor and control people.

Harari explained:

“The Soviet KGB… they didn’t have this ability. But this is changing through machine learning and AI. At the same time advances in biology, especially in brain study, is giving us this ability. Central to all this is the realization that organisms are algorithms. When the infotech revolution merges with the biotech revolution, what you get is the ability to hack human beings. And the most important component is biometric sensor that translates biochemical processes in the brain to biosensors that the computer can store and analyze. Once you have enough computing power and biometric data, it can know a person better than they know their self.”

This again explains why it’s so important to the technocrats that they are able to build out the necessary AI infrastructure, which Donald Trump is helping them to accomplish with the massive numbers of AI data centers being built throughout America.

He explained how the manipulation will work with algorithms used to track people’s bodily functions through a watch or wristband or some other “wearable” electronic device. At some point, the device will be implanted “under the skin,” Harari has warned.

Everything will be monitored — your eye movements, your blood pressure, your brain activity, everything.

“And if we are not careful, the outcome may be digital dictatorship” through a process he calls centralized data processing.

“And if democracy cannot adapt to these new conditions, then humans will come to live under the rule of digital dictatorshipAlready in the present, we are seeing the formation of more and more sophisticated surveillance regimes, throughout the world, not just by authoritarian regimes but also by democratic governments. The US, for example, is building a global surveillance system while my home country of Israel is trying to build a total surveillance regime in the West Bank.”

Remeber, this was seven years ago. AI has been around for more than a decade, even though Trump says he never heard of it two years ago.

Harari says governments will soon have the ability to monitor the movement and behavior of every individual 24/7 in real time.

He did not elaborate on the nature of the global surveillance system that the U.S. government was already working on seven years ago, but I believe it’s tightly connected to Trump’s Operation Stargate plan to blanket America with AI data centers.

  1. “everything Larry touches turns to gold.” Black Rock is the cause of the housing crisis. They bought out apartments and private homes and rents soared. They are buying businesses such as pet veterinary, auto repair, plumbing. Anything we need and raising prices to ridiculous heights. Blackrock is a scourge on America. All the “gold” they produce benefits only the elites and causes hardship to the masses. Trump is so money focused that he seems to be only focused on increasing wealth to the billionaire cult.

    1. Harari, Blackrock and its criminal CEO, and Trump are all Jews (Trump converted back in 2017). They used the genocide in Gaza to “test”their Ai and digital tools to murder and corral civilians into concentration camps.

      What makes me the most furious is that 90% of so-called “alt” media is simply not reporting about the criminal gang in Davos. They follow the lead of mainstream media focusing on manufactured crises instead of the core and real dangers for all humanity.

      It means that most alt-media is controlled opposition, actually owned by those behind the digital gulag agenda.

      And of course when i see so many people falling into the Ai trap, it just remind us that back in 2020 when they launched the plandemic, the majority just complied like sheep.

      I have little hope for humanity, but maybe it is meant so, majorities are always wrong.

  2. There is nothing we can do to stop this future absolute control of every human in the world. If you believe what Sacred Scripture says about the end of the world and that there will be a person (the Antichrist) who will rule the world with the most diabolic strength never known before, preparation for the day must be made. I believe AI will be the tool (or agent as Harari calls it) that will make his rule possible.

    1. I don’t believe they will attain all their life goals of godship over the masses. I don’t believe they will have enough time. I don’t believe Christians will be here so I don’t prepare for the tribulation. That’s not to say we can’t experience some uncomfortable hardships. We know that the masses will be faced with taking a mark but as far as turning humans into “controllable hacks” as Harrari refers to us, I don’t think it will happen. These elites are going to be trying to survive the wrath of God just like everyone else. They are going to have more serious problems to contend with than making robots out of people. We must remember that this is the goals of meer men. Their lofty goals may be just that.

      1. They will succeed in grabbing total power. We don’t know exactly what that will look like but we are getting a clearer and clearer picture with each passing year. The surveillance will at some point go under the skin, but maybe not. Maybe something more innocuous? Any way, I do believe one thing for sure, and that is, Christians will definitely be here for the tribulation period. The wrath comes after the tribulation.

      2. I strongly disagree. The seals, trumpet and bowl judgements are poured out during the seven year tribulation. It’s God’s wrath on the “unrepentant” world. It’s for those that refuse Christ as Savior. There is no reason to pour out His wrath on His bride/church.

      3. Like most pre-tribbers you confuse God’s wrath with God’s judgment. You are right that believers won’t experience His wrath. But they will go through the trials. They always have. Look at the lives of the Apostles just for starters. They certainly endured more than just hardships. What makes us more special than them?

      4. I think it’s clear that the tribulation is God’s wrath. Not trials. Noah and Lot were removed from danger. I believe the church will be removed also. I think both are good examples that believers are not meant for God’s judgement on the world. The tribulation isn’t trials. It is judgement. All seven years. I guess we will continue to disagree.

      5. Matthew 24 clearly states that after the tribulation of those days, then Christ will return. There’s only one second coming.

      6. The great tribulation of the church happens when the fifth seal is opened . The wrath of God which includes the trumpet judgements is not unleashed until the seventh seal is opened . The trumpet judgements are not the tribulation. The tribulation saints are not separate from the church. In Revelation 20 you will see the tribulation saints taking part in the first resurrection . This is the resurrection of the church which Paul refers to in 1st Thessalonians 4. It includes the dead in Christ and the saints who are still alive at Christ’s coming. This resurrection must happen before the rapture. This rules out the notion that the rapture could happen any moment.

        Dispensationalism reinterprets the bible in order to accommodate it’s false doctrine. The truth is that the church will go through the great tribulation.

        The Dispensationalists wrongly divide Christ’s coming into two events and then in an effort to explain away the tribulation saints in the fifth seal they have to invent a two part church.

        One lie begets another is the modes operandum of dispensationalists who have no interest in God’s truth.

      7. we disagree on this. The tribulation saints are those saved after the Church is removed. Jesus opens the first seal judgements thereby showing that these are His judgements on mankind. He is in charge of all the judgements being released not just the bowl judgements. You can argue all you want. The judgements are poured out on the unrighteous. It clearly tells us that. We “are not destined to wrath” and “I will keep you from that hour of testing that is to come up on the WHOLE world to test those living on the earth. We “are saved by grace not by works”. Testing believers would serve no purpose other than cruelty. We aren’t lost or saved by being tested.
