About this Event
Long before OpenAI became a household name, Karen Hao was the first journalist to gain full access to the company. She covered its transformation from fledgling non-profit pushing artificial intelligence as a public good, to a voracious corporate giant focused on growth and control.
As we grow increasingly aware of the risks that the dominant AI companies pose to the truth, the environment, and democracy, Karen has become one of the clearest voices helping us navigate this world.
As well as identifying and framing the threats, Karen has ideas about how we can all challenge this new wave of corporate power – and why we should retain hope.
Karen will be interviewed by The Bureau of Investigative Journalism’s CEO and Editor-in-Chief, Franz Wild, who has spent two decades investigating corporate corruption and abuses of power.
The Bureau’s investigations into AI – from chatbots emulating Jeffrey Epstein, to content manipulating UK voters – have already triggered action from companies and politicians alike.
This is a must-see conversation for anyone who wants to understand how AI is reshaping our world.
At the end of the evening, Karen will be holding a signing of her book Empire of AI, which will be available to purchase opposite the venue at Libreria.
