#AmReading Empire of #AI by #KarenHao. There's a chapter on environmental costs. Another on the exploitation of Global South folks.
And this quote from MIT economists & Nobel laureates Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson: "Technologies are not inevitable. The ability to advance them is driven by a collective belief that they are worth advancing. The irony is that for this very reason, new technologies rarely default to bringing widespread prosperity . . . Those who successfully rally for a technology's creation are those who have the power & resources to do the rallying. As they turn their ideas into reality, the vision they impose -- of what the tech is & whom it can benefit -- is thus the vision of a narrow elite, imbued with all their blind spots & self-serving philosophies. Only through cataclysmic shifts in society or powerful organized resistance can a technology transform from enriching the few to lifting the many."

Channel 4 News | Karen Hao exposes how AI bros are building an EMPIRE to control the future by Channel 4 News
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Karen Hao argues that the rise of artificial intelligence is not an inevitable, neutral force but a venture steered by a handful of powerful companies intent on dominance. In her book *Empire of AI* and a recent Channel 4 News interview, she exposes how this “AI empire” is being built by a small group of industry insiders, challenging the simplistic narrative that AI’s future is already predetermined. The discussion also probes whether Hao’s investigative work makes her an activist and asks who truly decides how AI evolves—and whether it’s already too late to alter that trajectory.

qwant news | Elon Musk and Sam Altman Are on the Same Side
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Elon Musk’s recent defeat in a San Francisco federal jury— which dismissed his lawsuit accusing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman of illegally enriching himself during the nonprofit‑to‑for‑profit conversion—doesn’t signal a split among AI’s leading figures; instead, both Musk and Altman remain aligned with a broader, pro‑tech coalition that benefits from the Trump administration’s deregulatory agenda and the extensive public‑private funding that propels AI expansion. Despite widespread public resistance—71 % of Americans oppose new AI data‑center construction and a majority view AI’s rapid advance skeptically—companies such as xAI, OpenAI, Meta, Nvidia and Microsoft pour hundreds of millions into lobbying and Super‑PACs to shape policy, while the White House touts “partnerships” over regulation. Critics argue that this alliance, echoing historic right‑wing‑business collusion, seeks to protect elite wealth and limit democratic oversight, using legal skirmishes and media narratives as distractions from the fundamental struggle over the concentration of data, capital, and political power.

Hito Steyerl und Karen Hao auf der #rp26 über Widerstand gegen Corporate AI
https://youtu.be/PiXA0ul9ACs?si=XiXpw_-HxvqGSVPZ Für mich der Höhepunkt des re:publica-Tages gestern: Enteignungsstrategien der AI-Konzerne und Gegenstrategien. Mich hat überrascht und ermutigt, wie eindeutig die Haltung des Publikums war. Ich habe erst bei den Vorträgen Karen Haos und Hito Steyerls verstanden, wie eng der Zusammenhang zwischen der Aneignung von Ressourcen durch AI-Konzerne und den anderen durch Extraktion verursachten Krisen ist.

Break away from the empire 🇪🇺
Yeah, re:publica time again !
And it started with a strong opening keynote by Karen Hao in which she urged Europe to “break away from the empire” and reduce its dependency on US AI tools.
Instead of chasing Silicon Valley’s endless scale obsession, build smaller, task-specific AI that actually serves public needs.
Looking forward to the next talks, hallway and conversations over the next days 🤖🌍

whenever we talk about AI here it's like preaching to the choir. but I find it interesting that this discussion is arriving in the entrepreneur bro space

This is a great discussion and analysis of #AI with @naomiaklein and #KarenHao about her book The Empire of AI

Journalist Karen Hao urged AI developers to move away from massive data center scale-up at an MIT conference. She argued the current approach is unnecessary and pointed to AlphaFold as an example of a better path: small, task-specific models that deliver enormous benefit without massive energy and resource costs. https://news.mit.edu/2026/right-path-for-ai-karen-hao-paola-ricaurte-0320 #AIagent #AI #GenAI #GlobalAIGovernance #KarenHao

Seeing how inefficient, unsustainable, and generally doomed the hyperscale #AI business model is, it can be difficult to remember that #LearningModels don't need to be so resource intensive (if you don't have a business valuation to inflate).

This #KarenHao interview from 8 months ago still feels evergreen.

#Podcast episode recommendation: #Falter: #FutureDiscontinuous: Can we resist the #AI empire, #KarenHao?
https://www.falter.at/podcasts/future-discontinuous/20251119/can-we-resist-the-ai-empire-karen-haoIt's great insight into the #AI people around #ClosedAI (previously #OpenAI) and all the #techbros that we give Billions of Dollars ...
Avoid if you're in a bad mood anyway.

Just finished reading “Empire of AI” by Karen Hao, the story of the rise of OpenAI, how it went from non-profit to for-profit, and the insane speed with which AI has become so pervasive. Strikes the right tone of caution re: safety and governance. The multi-billion dollar investments and valuations of these companies is mad. Good read especially if you’re interested in the topic but remain skeptical of those running it.
