Harari at Davos: AI “immigrants” are arriving — do your organisation’s borders exist?

Article link: https://open.substack.com/pub/johanos... Yuval Noah Harari’s Davos warning isn’t really about smarter chatbots; it’s about agency and power. He argues AI is no longer just a tool, but an “agent” that can learn, decide, persuade, and operate at scale across borders. That reframes the leadership challenge: when “AI immigrants” arrive by the millions into markets and platforms, will countries recognise them as legal persons, and if not, how will they practically stop other jurisdictions and corporations from forcing the issue? For South Africa, the talk lands in three places: governance, children, and infrastructure. Governance because cross-border AI-driven entities could reshape accountability faster than legislation can keep up. Children because persuasive, always-available AI companions will increasingly influence identity, trust, and social development. Infrastructure because the “cloud” is not weightless: compute depends on power and resilience, turning AI adoption into an energy and national competitiveness question.
