"Such political entities, governed by a singular unelected leader, drag millions of people along for the ride, often to the benefit of only a small ruling class (and the exploitation of the masses). In Empire of AI, journalist Karen Hao makes a bold but simple claim: the AI companies intricately woven into our digital lives are de facto empires, and it takes keen senses to sort their powerful leaders' self-aggrandizing promises from the realistic implications of the technology."
"The dog days of summer have been nipping at our heels this August: the humidity has been oppressive, the vacations not quite long enough, and the prospect of going into autumn is both comforting and dreadful. Summer reading may be ending soon, but Scientific American still has compelling science books to recommend before sweater weather sets in. This August we read about regenerating human body parts and the future of artificial intelligence,"
Summer reading recommendations present a curated mix of nonfiction and fiction science books timed for late August, aiming to transition readers into autumn. Selections cover regenerating human body parts, the future and politics of artificial intelligence, planetary history interpreted through meteorites and Earth's layers, and an account of graduate school struggles. One selection frames major AI companies as de facto empires and urges skepticism toward leaders' grand promises versus technological realities. Readers are encouraged to support science journalism through subscriptions to sustain future coverage of discoveries and ideas.
