the Intelligence Race: Power, Competition, and Technology Reshaping Everything

A text box appeared on a website in November 2022. Within two months, a hundred million people had typed into it. What followed was the fastest, highest stakes technology race in modern history, and it is still accelerating. The Intelligence Race takes you inside that contest: the labs racing to build machines that think, the chip factories that hold the whole industry hostage, the trillions of dollars flowing between a handful of companies, and the rivalry between Washington and Beijing that now shapes nearly every decision made in this field. Written for curious general readers rather than engineers, this book explains: - Why a single company's chatbot triggered a race involving every major tech company on earth- How chips, energy, and data quietly determine who can even compete at all- Why the rivalry between America and China now shapes almost every major decision in this industry- What this race actually means for your job, your privacy, and your future- Why the people building these systems are often the ones most worried about themClear, honest, and free of both hype and doom, The Intelligence Race gives you the full picture of the technology race already reshaping the world around you, and shows you exactly what to watch for next.
