Karen Hao reports extensively on artificial intelligence and the AI industry. In 2025, Hao was honored on the TIME100 AI list and won an American Humanist Media Award in 2024. She co-hosts the BBC podcast
Hao also co-created the Pulitzer Center’s AI Spotlight Series, a program that trains thousands of journalists around the world on
how to cover AI.
In New Mexico we are facing the violent destruction of our land, our water, our climate, our health and our communities because of the greed of tech oligarchs and their mad rush to win the AI race. Between Blackstone seeking to buy our utility so it can use our resources to power data centers, and Project Jupiter seeking to build a giant, polluting methane plant to serve Open AI and Oracle, New Mexico sits on the brink of a giant wave of extractive colonial violence.
