Karen Hao’s epic and urgent book Empire of AI, an instant New York Times bestseller, is the culmination of her years of insider access and original reporting. In this timely talk, drawing on years of original research, Hao examines a growing body of evidence to ask whether AI will ever produce broad-based economic benefit. Hao offers a pragmatic and hopeful look at how to create a world we all want in the age of AI. There will be a book signing and reception following the lecture. 7 p.m. Thurs., Oct. 9 • Colton Chapel • MORE
This lecture is a partnership between Lafayette College Libraries and the Office of the Provost, with generous support from the endowment of John L. Hatfield ’67.
