About
From Silicon Valley to Beijing, a silent war is unfolding over who will control the most powerful technology in human history. In this gripping talk, Parmy Olson explores the global race for artificial intelligence supremacy: how governments, corporations and rogue innovators are battling to define the rules, reap the rewards and dominate the future.
Drawing on years of front-line reporting for the Wall Street Journal, Olson cuts through the hype and fear to reveal how AI is already reshaping economies, politics and warfare and whats really at stake for human agency and accountability in a machine-driven age.
Described as a master storyteller who brings the hidden world of technology to life (Sunday Times) and an unflinching investigator of power in the digital era (Guardian), Olson shows why the outcome of this contest will affect us all from the data we share to the democracies we defend. The book on which this talk is based was Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award
Parmy Olson is a London-based technology columnist at the Wall Street Journal and author of the acclaimed We Are Anonymous, a bestseller translated into more than a dozen languages. She is internationally recognised for her fearless reporting on Big Tech, digital culture and the people shaping tomorrows world.
A Q&A session will follow.
