In 2024, author Parmy Olson's book was honored with the prestigious Business Book of the Year award from the Financial Times and Schroders, affirming its position as a foundational text for those interested in studying AI, technology policy and the future of the digital economy .
Mr. Hoang Nam Tien, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT University, assessed that the experience of reading “AI Hegemony” is not like reading a book about a dry and difficult field like AI, but like “watching a swordplay movie”. Author Parmy Olson used many lenses to report on the competition between the “giants” in the technology industry, Open AI, backed by Microsoft, and DeepMind Google. Both are racing to win the throne in the most potential but also the most controversial and threatening field: the mission of creating AGI - Artificial General Intelligence.
Parmy Olson not only describes the rise of AI, but also deeply analyzes the economic, political , and strategic drivers behind this race. The book is not only predictive but also gives readers insight into the trends that are happening right now.
The book “AI Hegemony” is not only an analysis of AI but also a warning about the future of this technology. Parmy Olson skillfully exposes the motives behind the AI race, from the ambitions of technology corporations to the potential consequences that this technology can bring. She focuses not only on the technical aspects but also delves into the political, economic and ethical relationships surrounding AI.
Besides the significant benefits that AI can bring such as increasing labor productivity, optimizing operating systems and improving quality of life, Parmy Olson emphasized the potential risks.
Olson’s book emphasizes that AI is not just a technology, but a revolution that can completely change the structure of society and the economy. We need a strong regulatory mechanism, a suitable legal system, and a long-term vision to ensure that AI develops in a way that benefits humanity instead of becoming an uncontrollable threat.
“AI hegemony” is not just a warning, but a call to action. If we don’t take the right steps now, we could lose control of one of the most important inventions of the 21st century.
