About
From Silicon Valley to Beijing, a silent war is raging over who will control the most powerful technology in human history. In this electrifying talk, award-winning journalist Parmy Olson reveals the inside story of the global race for artificial intelligence supremacy: a struggle that will shape not only economies and politics, but the very future of humanity.
Based on her Financial Times Business Book of the Year winner Supremacy, Olson charts the rivalry between two titans of Silicon Valley Microsofts alliance with OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, and Googles DeepMind, led by Demis Hassabis and the high-stakes contest between visionaries like Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Peter Thiel.
Behind the hype lies a battle for power, profit and control of a technology that could transform everything we do.
Drawing on years of front-line reporting for The Wall Street Journal, Olson cuts through the noise to ask: who will win this arms race and what will be left for humans to do?
Described as a master storyteller who brings the hidden world of technology to life (Sunday Times) and a compelling investigator of power in the digital era (Guardian), Olson offers a gripping exploration of ambition, secrecy and survival in the age of AI.
Parmy Olson is a London-based technology columnist for The Wall Street Journal and author of the international bestseller We Are Anonymous.
A Q&A session will follow.
