Inside the secret race to build artificial intelligence | The Gray Area
What is happening behind the scenes of America’s largest AI companies? How could the squabbles, ideologies, and goals of their CEOs and engineers shape our future?Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO
In today’s episode, guest host Christine Emba sits down with technology journalist Kevin Roose to discuss his new book, The AGI Chronicles: The Inside Story of the Race to Create an Artificial Superintelligence. The book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the engineers and tech leaders competing to build artificial superintelligence. The race has sparked a massive data center boom and made a handful of people some of the most powerful decision-makers on Earth.
Christine and Kevin explore the rivalries between frontier labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, the philosophical roots of "p(doom)" and AI safety, and whether recursive self-improvement could push superintelligence beyond human control sooner than we think.
Host: Christine Emba, columnist and author
