The gripping, award-winning story of the technology that’s transforming our lives.
In November 2022, the world changed. Within weeks of ChatGPT being released, it was clear that our lives and our careers would never be the same again. From award-winning journalist Parmy Olson, Supremacy is the astonishing story of the race to exploit generative AI. It unfolds between two titans of Silicon Valley, Microsoft and Google, as they rush to embrace OpenAI and DeepMind, the two leading AI companies, and harness them for limitless profit.
Featuring a cast of larger-than-life characters, including Elon Musk, Demis Hassabis, Sam Altman, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel, Supremacy is a story of ambition, exploitation and secrecy. It tells of relentless technological progress and the greatest invention in human history. And with the constant threat of competition, the dangers of this new technology are repeatedly brushed aside?
