Introduction

Generative AI is sold as a tool that will make us more productive and democratize creativity and knowledge.

But when billions of dollars of profit and an unparalleled legacy are on the table, even AI entrepreneurs with the best intentions have become blinded.

Parmy Olson is a tech journalist who has worked for the Wall Street Journal and Forbes.

In her September 2024 book Supremacy, Olson uncovers the story of two entrepreneurs who entered the race to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) — the point where AI has capabilities that match humans across all tasks.

Whilst these men began their quest for AGI with noble intentions to solve humanity's many problems, when big corporations such as Google and Microsoft got involved, these highly moralistic aims became lost in the race for glory.
