Join us for a riveting conversation between esteemed journalist Karen Hao and Dr Kobi Leins.  

Meticulously researched, carefully curated, and not pulling any punches, Karen Hao’s book is urgently needed to understand the history, context and the future of AI. 

Karen Hao’s Empire of AI uncovers the characters, the controversy, and the cash fuelling the current AI hype, the 'digital colonialism’, environmental degradation, and the ongoing oppression it will further if we don’t start paying attention and act now.

Free, but bookings are essential.

Please book here.
