    From boardrooms to dorm rooms, AI commands our attention – whether the promise and panic of ChatGPT or the looming question of robots taking our jobs. How did we get here and what does it all mean?

    AI VALLEY offers an up close and personal look at the mad dash to cash in on AI, as founders and VCs collide with tech giants such as Google and Microsoft. The book weaves in the fascinating history of AI’s evolution, introducing us to those who saw the future – and those who held it back. The main action unfolds with the release of ChatGPT late in 2022 – the starter’s pistol for a race to capitalize on the most transformative technology since the internet.

    LinkedIn founder and legendary investor Reid Hoffman takes center stage alongside a cast of boldfaced names, including Musk, Gates, Zuckerberg, and Altman, all brought to life through tantalizing anecdotes and tales from Silicon Valley’s front lines. As described by HarperCollins, “AI VALLEY is an adventure story full of drama and unforgettable personalities, promising to be the definitive story for anyone seeking to understand the latest phase of world-changing discoveries and the minds behind them.”
