Are you trying to understand what is really happening inside the world of artificial intelligence? 🤖📘 My latest review looks deeply at Empire of AI by Karen Hao, one of the most detailed and revealing books about the rise, crisis, and global impact of OpenAI. From the boardroom battles that led to Sam Altman’s brief ousting to the growing tensions between safety, innovation, and commercial power, this book uncovers the story behind the AI revolution and why it matters for all of us. 🌍💡

In this video, I break down the major themes, the internal conflicts, the historical context, and the philosophical questions that shape this rapidly changing technology. Whether you are fascinated by the future of AI, curious about how OpenAI became such a powerful institution, or simply trying to understand the biggest tech story of our time, this review offers the clarity and context you need. 📈🔥

I talk about the author’s reporting, the scale of the research, the internal dynamics that influenced the company, and the reasons this book is both important and challenging. If you enjoy deep-dive nonfiction, tech history, investigative reporting, or big-picture explanations that connect developments across society, economics, and global politics, this is the video for you. ✨📚
