Investigative journalist and best-selling author Karen Hao conducted more than 300 interviews, including 150 with Open AI insiders, for her book Empire of AI, where she examines how the future of AI is being shaped. “Every single journalist has an AI story to tell in their region or on their beat. The AI industry is globe- and discipline-spanning, and affecting billions of people, often in harmful ways that desperately need to be brought to light,” Hao told GIJN. This session, moderated by Gina Chua, executive director of the Tow-Knight Center, Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, will provide more insights on AI and its impact, as well as a deeper understanding of the tech industry developing AI.
