About this Event
Long before OpenAI became a household name, Karen Hao was the first journalist to gain full access to the company. She charted how it transformed from a non-profit set up to preserve Artificial Intelligence as a public good to a voracious corporate giant focused on growth and control.
As we grow increasingly aware of the risks 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 identify and frame the threats, Karen articulates 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 how AI chatbots emulating the likes of Jeffrey Epstein are accessible by children and how political parties and content creators are manipulating voters with xenophobic content have already triggered action from companies and politicians alike.
This conversation is a must-see for anyone wanting to understand how AI is remaking our world and how we should engage.
