About this Event
We’re not just reading about AI anymore. We’re living inside it.
AI is reshaping how we work, create and make decisions.
But behind all the innovation is a bigger question:
Who is shaping this future and who truly benefits from it?
For Part 2 of AI, Power & Our Future, we’re taking the conversation to the big screen at ODEON Point Square.
This session explores Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI by award-winning journalist Karen Haoan inside look at OpenAI, Sam Altman and the race to build increasingly powerful AI.
🎬 This isn’t a traditional book club.
Expect a cinema-style evening built around conversation, ideas and different perspectives.
You’ll experience:
→ A guided breakdown of the book’s key ideas
→ A live conversation about AI, power and society
→ Audience questions and discussion
→ Networking with curious, forward-thinking people
We’ll explore questions including:
Who holds the power behind AI?
What happens when idealism meets profit and competition?
And what does the race toward more powerful AI mean for the rest of us?
👥 Who is it for?
Professionals, founders, leaders and curious minds who want to understand AI beyond the headlines.
