DESCRIPTION:Karen Hao’s epic and urgent book /Empire of AI/ —an instant New
  York \nTimes bestseller — is the culmination of her years of insider acce
 ss and \noriginal reporting\, spanning five continents. In this timely tal
 k\, drawing on \nyears of original research\, Hao examines a growing body 
 of evidence to ask \nwhether AI will ever produce broad-based economic ben
 efit. Companies like \nOpenAI have become empires in the full sense of the
  word\, consolidating \nextraordinary power and wealth in the hands of the
  few and threatening an \nunraveling of democracy. But there are viable pa
 ths forward. Hao offers a \npragmatic and hopeful look at how to create a 
 world we all want in the age of \nAI.\n\n \n\nThis lecture is a partnershi
 p between Lafayette College Libraries and the \nOffice of the Provost\, wi
 th generous support from the endowment of John L. \nHatfield ’67. Hao’s pr
 esentation is also part of the/ Forging \nConnections: Championing Science
 \, Learning\, and Higher Ed Through Effective \nCommunication/ series. Her
  talk underscores the power of clear\, \nevidence-based communication to c
 ombat misinformation about AI and \ndemonstrates how investigative journal
 ism can illuminate complex issues in \nscience and technology\, helping au
 diences understand and engage with topics \nof critical importance.\n\n
