About this listen
The thrilling inside story of the race to build a world-changing artificial superintelligence.
As the San Francisco–based tech columnist for The New York Times, Kevin Roose has seen the AI revolution from a front-row seat—and even participated in it: his account of how Microsoft's Bing chatbot attempted to break up his marriage became worldwide news. In his new book, The AGI Chronicles, Roose delivers a deeply reported, behind-the-scenes account of the wild race to reach technology's next frontier: artificial general intelligence (AGI), a system that can outdo humans at almost any task. With unprecedented access to OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic—the three companies racing to build AGI—and hundreds of interviews with industry insiders, Roose reconstructs the rivalries, betrayals, and breakthroughs that have shaped the modern AI era. This is the definitive account of the twenty-first-century's Manhattan Project—the inside story of a world-changing technology that could either save humanity or destroy it.
