This is democracyow [music]democracynow.orgthe War and Peace Report. I'm AmyGoodman. The Empire of AI, that's the name of a new book by journalist KarenHow, who's been closely reporting on therise of the artificial intelligence industry with a focus on Sam Alman'sOpen AI. That's the company behind ChatGPT. Karen how compares the actions of the AI industry to those of colonialpowers of the past. She writes, quote,"The empires of AI are not engaged in the same overt violence and brutalitythat marked this history, but they tooseize and extract precious resources to feed their vision of artificialintelligence. the work of artists andwriters, the data of countlessindividuals posting about their experiences and observations online, theland, energy, and water required tohouse and run massive data centers and supercomputers. She writes, "Over thepast year, the Trump administration hasincreasingly embraced the AI industry. In December, Trump signed an executiveorder to bar states and localgovernments from enacting their own AI regulations. Soon after he signed theorder, his family's company, Trump Mediand Technology, announced a $6 billion merger with a firm aiming to build theworld's first viable nuclear fusionplant to power AI projects. Karen How is a former reporter at the Wall StreetJournal and MIT Technology Review whereshe became the first journalist to profile open AI. Democracy Now's JuanGonzalez and I spoke to her in May. TheNational Book Critic Circle recently named her book The Empire of AI: Dreamsand Nightmares and Sam Alman's Open AIas a finalist for best non-fiction book of 2025.I began by asking Karen How to explainjust what artificial intelligence is. SoAI is a collection of many different echnologies but most people wereintroduced to it through chatbt and whatI argue in the book and what the title refers to empire of AI it's actually acritique of the specific trajectory ofAI development that led us to chatbt and has continued since chatbt and that ispecifically Silicon Valley's scale atall costs approach to AI development AI models in modern day they are trained ondata they need computers to train themon that data. But what Silicon Valley did and what OpenAI did in the last fewyears is they started blowing up theamount of data and the the size of the computers that need to do this training.So we are talking about the full Englishlanguage internet being fed into these models, books, scientific articles, allof the intellectual property that isbeing created and also massive supercomputers that run tens ofthousands even hundreds of thousands ofcomputer chips that are the size of dozens maybe hundreds of football fieldsand use practically the entire energydemands of cities now. So this is an extraordinary um type of AI developmenthat is causing a lot of social, laborand environmental harms and that is ultimately why I evoke this analogy toempire.>> And Karen, could you talk some moreabout not only the energy requirements but the water requirements of these hugedata centers that are essence in essencethe backbone of of this uh widening uh industry? >> Absolutely. I'll give you two stats onboth the energy and the water. Whentalking about the energy demand, McKenzie recently came out with a reporthat said in the next 5 years based onthe current pace of AI computational infrastructure expansion, we would needto put as much energy on the global gridas what is consumed by two to six times the energy consumed annually by thestate of California. And that willmostly be serviced by fossil fuels.We're already seeing reporting of uh coal plants with their lives beingextended. They were supposed to retirebut now they cannot to support this data center development. We are seeingmethane gas turbines, unlicensed onesbeing popped up to uh service these data centers as well. From a freshwaterperspective, these data centers need tobe trained on freshwater. They cannot be trained on any other type of waterbecause it can corrode the equipment. Itcan lead to bacterial growth and most of the time it actually taps directly intoa public drinking water supply becausethat is the infrastructure that has been laid to deliver this clean fresh waterto different businesses to differenthomes. And Bloomberg recently had an alysis where they looked at thexpansion of these data centers aroundthe world and 2thirds of them are being placed in water scarce areas. So they'rebeing placed in communities that do nothave access to fresh water. So it's not just the total amount of fresh waterthat we need to be concerned about, butactually the distribution of this infrastructure around the world.And most people are familiar with chatGPT the consumer aspect of AI but what about the military uh aspect of AI wherein essence uh we're finding SiliconValley companies becoming the next generation of defense contractors.>> One of the reasons why OpenAI and manyother companies are turning to the defense industry is because they havespent an extraordinary amount of moneyin developing these technologies. They're spending hundreds of billions totrain these models and they need torecoup those costs and there are only so many industries and so many places thathave that size of a paycheck to pay. Andso that's why we're seeing a cozying up to the defense industry. We're alsoseeing Silicon Valley use the USgovernment in their empire buildingambitions. You could argue that the US government is also trying to use SiliconValley vice versa in their empirebuilding ambitions. Um but certainly these technologies are not they are notdesigned to be used in a sensitivemilitary context. And so the theaggressive push of these companies to try and get those defense contracts andintegrate their technologies more andmore to the into the infrastructure of the military is really alarming. Iwanted to go to the countries you wento or the stories you covered because I mean this is amazing the depth of youreporting from Kenya to Uruguay toChile. Um you were talking a
