‘Empire of AI’ by Karen Hao (2025)

Empire of AI offers a deeply investigated, inside look at the rise of OpenAI and the broader artificial intelligence industry. The book argues that leading AI companies operate as modern-day empires, built on massive resource extraction, global labor exploitation, and an obsessive, unchecked pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
