Friends,
Three things to report this week:
The Wall Street Journal ran an excerpt from my forthcoming book, The Infinity Machine: Demis Hassabis, DeepMind, and the Quest for Superintelligence. You can see it here.
The Financial Times wrote that "Mallaby has done full justice to his kaleidoscopically interesting subject." You can see the review here.
In the latest episode of The Spillover, I coped with the absence of my cohost Rebecca Patterson by debating the wisdom of the U.S. chip export controls. My sparring partner was my awesomely smart CFR colleague Chris McGuire, who was instrumental in the design of said controls when he served in the National Security Council. Always fun to disagree agreeably.
Next week will be a humdinger. The Infinity Machine is out on March 31. Please order your copy now if you haven't already. If you are a CFR member, you are entitled to a free copy, which you can access through your membership portal.
For the listeners of The Spillover, from now until April 1, you also have a chance to win a copy of my new book. To enter, head to cfr.org/giveaway, and submit a question you’d like us to answer on the podcast.
Sincerely,
