It was never meant to be this way. The founders of the two companies behind the most advanced AIs in existence ? Open AI (ChatGPT) and DeepMind (Bard) ? started their journeys determined to solve humanity?s greatest problems. But they couldn?t develop their technologies without huge amounts of money ? money that Microsoft and Google were more than happy to give them, in exchange for the most powerful seats at the table. From award-winning journalist Parmy Olson, Supremacy is the astonishing, untold, behind-the-scenes story of the battle between two AI companies, their struggles to use their tech for good, and the dangerous direction that they?re now going in. Featuring a cast of larger-than-life characters, including Elon Musk, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and Peter Thiel, Supremacy is a story of manipulation, exploitation, secrecy and of ruthless, relentless human progress ? progress that will impact all of us for years to come.
