"Supremacy makes the topic of artificial intelligence approachable and entertaining by telling the human stories of the people building AI companies. There is never a dull moment in this gripping book." - Arvind Narayanan, professor of computer science at Princeton University and co-author of AI Snake Oil. "Money, power, and a Faustian bargain that may change the world frame this timely and deeply researched account of two of the biggest players in the race to AI." - Gary Marcus, professor emeritus at New York University and author. "Parmy Olson is that rare author who writes with technological expertise about artificial intelligence without losing track of the underlying humanity informing its arrival. She's intimately familiar with AI's roots and reach, and she's drawn a rich blueprint for understanding the revolution it heralds." - Timothy L. O'Brien, senior executive editor at Bloomberg Opinion. "A clear and compelling read about one of the most consequential races in the world - the invention of artificial general intelligence - filled with surprising and juicy details about the powerful men at the heart of it. The deep research in Supremacy reveals startling news and facts as yet unreported about two of the world's most scrutinized companies." - Madhumita Murgia, AI editor of the Financial Times and author of Code Dependent. "In November 2022, a web page was posted online with a simple text box. ChatGPT was unlike any technology people had used before. It seemed more human than a customer service agent, more convenient than a Google search. But it was born out of an intense rivalry. Behind the scenes, battles for control and prestige at the world's two leading AI firms, OpenAI and DeepMind, have remained elusive - until now. In Supremacy, Parmy Olson, a technology columnist at Bloomberg, tells the astonishing story of how these companies grappled to use their AI for good as they served two tech giants whose power was unprecedented in history. At the center of it all were two CEOs who cultivate an almost religious devotion to their mission to build godlike, super-intelligent machines: Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, and Demis Hassabis, CEO of DeepMind. Supremacy sharply alerts readers to the real threat of artificial intelligence that many of its top creators are ignoring: the profit-driven spread of flawed and biased technology into industries, education, media, and more. With exclusive access to a network of high-ranking sources, Parmy Olson uses her more than thirteen years of experience covering technology to bring to light the exploitation of the greatest invention in human history, and how it will impact us all." - from the inner front jacket flap.
