Artificial Intelligence has been Ājust around the cornerĀ for decades, continuallyĀ disappointing those who long believed in its potential. But now, with the emergence and growing use of ChatGPT, Gemini, and a rapidly multiplying number of other AI tools, many are wondering: Has AIĀs moment finally arrived?

Over the course of more than a year, Rivlin closely follows founders and venture capitalists trying to capitalize on this AI moment.

Through Hoffman, Rivlin is granted access to a number of companies on the cutting-edge of AI research, such as Inflection AI, the company Hoffman cofounded in 2022, and OpenAI, the San Francisco-based startup that sparked it all with its release at the end of that year of ChatGPT. In addition to Hoffman, Rivlin introduces us to other AI experts, including OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman and Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of DeepMind, an early AI startup that Google bought for $650 Ā million in 2014. Rivlin also brings readers inside Microsoft, Meta, Google and other tech giants scrambling to keep pace.
On this vast frontier, no one knows which of these companies will hit it bigĀor which will flame out spectacularly. In this riveting narrative marbled with familiar names such as Musk, Zuckerberg, and Gates, Rivlin chronicles breakthroughs as they happen, giving us a deep understanding of whatĀs around the corner in AI development. An adventure story full of drama and unforgettable personalities,Ā AI ValleyĀ promises to be the definitive story for anyone seeking to understand the latest phase of world-changing discoveries and the minds behind them.
