The thrilling inside story of the race to build a world-changing artificial superintelligence.

As the San Francisco-based tech columnist for The New York Times, Kevin Roose has seen the AI revolution from a front-row seat-and even participated in it: his account of how Microsoft's Bing chatbot attempted to break up his marriage became worldwide news. In his new book, The AGI Chronicles, Roose delivers a deeply reported, behind-the-scenes account of the wild race to reach technology's next frontier: artificial general intelligence (AGI), a system that can outdo humans at almost any task. With unprecedented access to OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and Anthropic-the three companies racing to build AGI-and hundreds of interviews with industry insiders, Roose reconstructs the rivalries, betrayals, and breakthroughs that have shaped the modern AI era. This is the definitive account of the twenty-first-century's Manhattan Project-the inside story of a world-changing technology that could either save humanity or destroy it.
