Des Moines Public Library business book pick: “Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the Race that Will Change the World,” by Parmy Olson

Why you should read it:
Last year was the year when AI and ChatGPT entered our everyday lexicon, but this book shines a light behind the scenes in the tech world, where an astonishing battle has been brewing over the past few years between tech firms and the powerful new technologies. The book alerts readers to the threats of artificial intelligence, how it can be exploited for profit, and how it will affect us all — for good and bad.
