    In her New York Times bestseller “Empire of AI,” journalist Karen Hao traces the rise of an intriguing and controversial tech giant: OpenAI. In years spent chronicling the company, she came to a theory of how OpenAI’s operating model mimics imperialist empires of the past – and how other major AI players have followed suit. Hao’s history and analysis take up the evolution of Open AI’s original mission to its current corporate reality, its reliance on the extraction of data, and the exploitation of labor and resources. Her work is a call to rethink how technology systems are built, and how we can collectively steer AI development away from empire-building toward a more equitable future. Lees meer
