Supremacy: Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award by Parmy Olson

Winner of the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award, Supremacy is the astonishing story of the people and companies fighting to control the future of generative artificial intelligence — and, ultimately, the future of humanity.

Award-winning journalist Parmy Olson takes readers inside the high-stakes AI race between some of Silicon Valley’s most powerful technology companies. Microsoft entered a strategic partnership with OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, while Google acquired DeepMind, bringing together enormous resources and ambitions in the pursuit of increasingly powerful artificial intelligence.

At the centre of this technological arms race are two major figures: Sam Altman of OpenAI and Demis Hassabis of Google DeepMind. As their organisations compete to shape the future of AI, Supremacy explores the enormous opportunities, risks and questions surrounding the technology.

Featuring a fascinating cast of influential figures, including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Mark Zuckerberg and Sergey Brin, the book explores ambition, competition, exploitation and secrecy behind the rapidly developing AI industry.

As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, Supremacy asks an important question: as we outsource more and more to machines, what will be left for humans to do?
