Karen Hao, in her book 'Empire of AI,' discusses how the AI industry, particularly OpenAI, reflects the characteristics of an empire fueled by a belief in artificial general intelligence (AGI) that promises to benefit humanity. She critiques the focus on rapid expansion at the expense of ethical considerations and suggests that the industry prioritizes speed and data accumulation over exploring innovative and safer algorithms. Hao highlights the social and environmental harms resulting from AI's growth, noting concerns over exploitation in developing countries and the potential negative impacts of AGI, while also warning against the dangers of losing touch with reality due to a dogmatic belief in technology's beneficence.
