We have known for more than a century that machines have supplanted humans, at least on the physical level. This should be welcomed, of course, because in fields such as public works or freight transportation, it is a major advance for humanity as a whole. But for Yuval Noah Harrari, the Israeli academic whose first major book \u2013 Sapiens<\/a> – A Brief History of Humankind \u2013 <\/a> was a global best-seller, the issue at stake today is the eclipsing of humans on the cognitive level<\/mark>. And this could have very far-reaching consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a study by Oxford researchers Frey and <\/a>O<\/a>sborne<\/a> tells us, 99% of insurance agents and telemarketers will lose their jobs by 2033, along with 98% of sports referees, 97% of cashiers and 91% of tour guides. The difficulty facing humans at the turn of the 2030s will concern the creation of jobs that are not immediately replaced by artificial intelligence. <\/strong>And for Harari, this will be no easy matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
