Yuval Noah Harari is a historian, philosopher, and bestselling author whose work explores the past, present, and future of humanity. His books, including Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, Homo Deus, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, Unstoppable Us, and Nexus: A Brief History of Information Networks from the Stone Age to AI, have sold more than 55 million copies in 65 languages, establishing him as one of the world's most influential public intellectuals. Born in Israel, he earned his PhD from the University of Oxford in 2002 and has held academic positions at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the University of Cambridge's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk.
In addition to his writing and research, Harari regularly engages with global leaders, policymakers, business executives, and public audiences on topics including technology, artificial intelligence, democracy, education, and the future of society. He has delivered keynote addresses at the World Economic Forum in Davos and participated in high-profile conversations with heads of state, industry leaders, and leading media organizations. In 2019, he co-founded Sapienship, a social impact organization dedicated to research, education, and storytelling that helps people better understand the challenges and opportunities facing humanity.
Harari's research examines some of the most pressing questions of our time: how technology is reshaping society, what distinguishes humans from other species, and how the choices we make today will influence the future of civilization. Through his books, lectures, and public commentary, he continues to foster global conversations about the ethical, political, and social implications of rapid technological change, particularly in the age of artificial intelligence.
