Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award, Supremacy tells the astonishing story of the people fighting to control the future of generative artificial intelligence and, with it, the future of humanity. Award-winning journalist Parmy Olson follows the two Silicon Valley titans, Microsoft and Google, as they rush to embrace artificial intelligence: Microsoft through its strategic partnership with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, and Google through its acquisition of DeepMind. Together, they command the resources of the worlds two leading AI companies and the potential for unlimited riches. But what is the cost of this arms race, and who will prevail between Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind and Sam Altman of OpenAI? As more and more work is outsourced to this technology, what will remain for humans to do? Featuring larger-than-life figures including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, this is a gripping story of ambition, exploitation and secrecy, as compelling as any thriller.
