AI, Power & Our Future (Part 2): Empire of AI
About this Event
We’re not just reading about AI anymore. We’re living inside it.
AI is reshaping how we work, create and make decisions.
But behind all the innovation is a bigger question:
Who is shaping this future and who truly benefits from it?
For Part 2 of AI, Power & Our Future, we’re taking the conversation to the big screen at ODEON Point Square.
This session explores Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI by award-winning journalist Karen Haoan inside look at OpenAI, Sam Altman and the race to build increasingly powerful AI.
🎬 This isn’t a traditional book club.

You’ll experience:
→ A guided breakdown of the book’s key ideas
→ A live conversation about AI, power and society
→ Audience questions and discussion
→ Networking with curious, forward-thinking people
We’ll explore questions including:
Who holds the power behind AI?
What happens when idealism meets profit and competition?
And what does the race toward more powerful AI mean for the rest of us?
