No Mr Blair, AI will not save us

An interview with Karen Hao.

By NS Podcasts

Are AI companies the new empires?

Journalist Karen Hao says the parallels are striking. This disruptive sector requires vast amounts of land, minerals and water – not to mention data and content from individuals. 

Hao interviews subjects ranging from those close to Open AI CEO Sam Altman to workers in the Global South who’ve been traumatised by their jobs in AI content moderation.

She joins Oli Dugmore on The Exchange.
