$45 (includes talk, book, wine & charcuterie)
Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than governments can regulate it—and faster than most of us can understand it. What does that mean for our jobs, our children, our relationships, and ultimately, our humanity?
Award-winning journalist, Kevin Roose, has personally interviewed the people shaping the future of artificial intelligence, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
Few people have the breadth of understanding that Kevin has. He has been exposing the AI companies that have been racing to build the most powerful technology in history. Some of them hoped AGI would cure diseases and heal the planet. Others feared it could K*ll everyone on Earth. They decided to build it anyway.
Drawing on more than 150 interviews with insiders as well as unpublished company documents and research memos, Roose reconstructs the most consequential decade in tech history. He brings us to the White House, where top officials grapple with a technology that is improving too fast to understand, let alone regulate.
Kevin became the face of the AI revolution when his front-page New York Times article shared a conversation with an experimental Microsoft chatbot named "Sydney." The chatbot went rogue and professed its love for him and aggressively tried to convince him to leave his wife. The article went viral, raising profound questions about the power and unpredictability of artificial intelligence.
The AGI Chronicles reveals the true story of the most high-stakes technological quest in human history—an audacious attempt to create a new, alien form of intelligence that could either save humanity or destroy it.
