In Empire of AI (“startling and intensely researched” — Vulture) Karen Hao lifts the veil on the industry defining our era. With access to the world of Sam Altman’s OpenAI from the beginning, Hao had an insider’s view of the development of this world-changing technology, the breakthrough of Chat GPT, and the company’s path from idealism to a pursuit of power consuming vast information and resources. Hao, an award-winning journalist covering artificial intelligence, has written for The Atlantic and The Wall Street Journal and was senior editor of the MIT Technology Review. She speaks about her provocative new book with John Borthwick, a leader in the New York startup technology business for over three decades, who is founder and CEO of beta works.
