The world is on the verge of a new religion created by artificial intelligence, the historian Yuval Noah Harari has claimed.
The academic â known for his bestselling book Sapiens â said software such as ChatGPT could attract worshippers by writing its own sacred texts.
Speaking at a science conference, he said AI had crossed a new frontier by ‘gaining mastery’ of our language and was now capable of using it to shape human culture.
