A New York Times and Sunday Times BestsellerWinner of the National Book Critics Circle Award 2025Longlisted for the 2025 Financial Times & Schroders Business Book of the YearShortlisted for Foyles Non Fiction Book of the Year 2025An eye-opening account of the tech arms race shaping out planet, from an award-winning journalist and AI insider to the world of Sam Altman and OpenAIWhen longtime AI expert and journalist Karen Hao first began covering OpenAI in 2019, she thought they were the good guys. Founded as a nonprofit with safety enshrined as its core mission, it was meant, its leader Sam Altman told us, to act as a check against more purely market forces.But the core truth of this massively disruptive sector is that it requires an unprecedented amount of proprietary resources: the ‘compute’ power of scarce high-end chips, the sheer volume of data that needs to be amassed at scale, the humans on the ground ‘cleaning it up’ for sweatshop wages throughout the Global South, and a truly alarming spike in the need for energy and water underlying everything. We have entered a new, ominous age of empire with OpenAI setting a breakneck pace, as a small group of the most valuable companies in human history try to chase it down.In exhilarating prose and with unparalleled access to those closest to Sam Altman, Hao recounts the meteoric rise of OpenAI and shows us the sinister impact that this industry is having on society.

Ez az uj iparag sosem latott mertekben igenyel eroforrasokat: ritkafemeket a csipekhez, energiat az adatok feldolgozasahoz, a Globalis Del orszagaiban ehberert dolgozo munkasokat, akik az osszegyujtott adatokat osztalyozzak.Karen Hao a tobb mint ketszazotven emberrel keszitett melyinterju segitsegevel es a Sam Altman altal vezetett OpenAI cegorias peldajan keresztul teljes kepet nyujt az AI vilagarol.
