Idea Exchange: Karen Hao On OpenAI, Sam Altman And The Future Of Technology

Karen Hao Interview: In this episode of Idea Exchange, tech reporter and author Karen Hao discusses her book Empire of AI and the growing global influence of artificial intelligence. Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022 by OpenAI, AI has rapidly entered everyday life, promising transformative breakthroughs across industries and societies. The company’s founding mission is to ensure that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — AI systems that could surpass human intelligence — benefits all of humanity. But Hao argues that behind this optimistic vision lies a deeper power dynamic. Drawing parallels with historical empires, she suggests the global AI race may also involve the concentration of power, wealth, and influence, often built on vast data resources and labour networks. In conversation with The Indian Express, Hao also reflects on the role of tech leaders like Sam Altman, the global race for AI dominance, and what the future of AI governance could look like. #karenhao #artificialintelligence #openai #samaltman The Indian Express covers a wide spectrum of national and international news, including daily updates, political developments, election coverage, gadget and mobile reviews, technology updates, entertainment news, Bollywood trends, sports news and public opinions on daily topics.
